About this Product
Poetry of Nature photography printed on canvas and ready to hang.
ARCHIVAL CANVAS GICLEE
Archival Canvas Giclees are a truly beautiful way to display nature photography. They capture a soft feel and resemble a painting.
This style of canvas is different than the thin wrap, both in the quality of inks used and the stretching technique which wraps it.
Archival Canvas Giclees are not cheap, but they will last 100 years. I use a local printer when I make these and we work together for the best colors and coatings to make the image gorgeous.
To order, simply choose your size from the menu, and let me know which image you are interested in.
Thank you!
Please feel free to contact me with any question you may have.

The Poetry of Nature
Meet the Maker
Hello! Welcome to my shop. My name is Katharine Emlen and I am the writer / photographer behind The Poetry of Nature.
Nothing brings me greater joy than being outside in this beautiful world of ours. Nature, I find, provides the most wonderful canvas, no matter where you look. I have seen tremendous beauty in dying leaves, personalities hanging out in ditches, and remarkable compositions in the most unlikely of places.
Sometimes, I pretend I am an ant, because if I were an ant, those itty-bitty water drops would be pillows to rest upon, that blade of grass a slide, and the dew covered wheat, a jungle gym for play.
I tend to get lost in my imagination and I allow nature be alive...it's not just three drops on a leaf, but a family of travelers, not just a twisted tendril, but a lover's embrace...
When I allow Nature to be sentient, I see all sorts of stories within her. They are the same as ours! Triumph, struggle, comfort, joy....I see it in the twist of a tendril, patterns in ice, the way the water drops sit on the curve of a leaf.
Usually, I stumble upon these stories. And when I do, I hear a poem in my head, so I include it with the image. This is why I call this my work, The Poetry of Nature.
Thank you for stopping by!

How it’s Made
ARCHIVAL CANVAS GICLEE
Archival Canvas Giclees are an investment. But they are stunningly beautiful and will last forever.
For canvas giclees, images are printed directly onto canvas, painted with a protective laminate, and then hand stretched over 1/2 inch stretcher bars. Being full frame, images jump right out and capture attention. Because my work is sensual and delicate in nature, canvas works with them especially well, and the laminate adds some brush strokes so they really do resemble a painting.
I work directly with a local, family run printer here in Knoxville. We sit down, look at the images, and do test prints to make sure we have the colors just so. Because of this, and because I wrap and ship with care, it might take up to two weeks for you to receive your art. But I promise, it will be worth the wait :)
When you order a canvas giclee, I will send you the poem separately on a small piece of card stock, about the size of a 3x5 card.
*Not all images can go as big as 16x22, so if that is the size you are interested in, please check with me to be sure I can do it.
Thank you! Please reach out with any questions and don't forget to tell me which image you would like during check out.
