What is a gallery floatmount?
The photograph is printed on a semi matte metallic paper and mounted on 1/8" masonite. The 3/4" deep recessed back frame gives the piece a floating effect when hung on the wall. A UV non-glare film is applied to the face of the print. The print has a slight sheen to it and looks amazing when the light hits it. The colors on these pieces really pop! Gallery floatmounts are custom made and usually take 8 to 10 business days to ship.

ABOUT THE HATED ON YELP SERIES
EST: 2018. When working in her gallery Lesley started writing down things she would hear tourists complain about. This led to an obsession of reading Yelp reviews people wrote about various places in Marfa. She printed the quotes on canvas and created an exhibit in her gallery called "Marfa: We are Hated on Yelp." She then created an entire series of quotes printed on her photographs of Marfa scenery.
ABOUT THE MIGUEL MYERS SERIES
The Miguel Myers series was created in 2016 when Lesley's husband Junie dressed up as Michael Myers for Halloween. Junie gave himself the alter ego of "Miguel Myers." They have been photographing him doing various things around town every year in October since. The annual Miguel Myers calendar is released on Halloween Day.

WHAT ARE GICLEE PRINTS?
Every component of the giclee print is archival; the paper is 100% acid-free and deep matte, making it non-reflective and soft, both to the eye and to the touch. Archival inks are pigment-based and known for their longevity and resistance to fading. Your print will retain its vibrant color for decades.
WHAT IS YOUR CUSTOM FRAMING LIKE?
Each photo is printed on fine art archival paper for exceptional quality and longevity. We use solid wood frames paired with optical-grade clear acrylic to protect and showcase the photograph. You can add a 4-ply white matboard or keep it flushed to the frame. The back is finished with a kraft paper dust cover and comes ready to hang with included wire hardware. Framed photos are custom made and can take 10 to 14 business days to ship.
