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.
