North America's only living coral barrier reef lies approximately six miles seaward of the Florida Keys in water that are typically fifteen to thirty feet deep. Some considered the reef to be the third longest coral barrier reef in the world, after Australia and the Meso-American reef off Belize.

The great coral reefs of the Florida Keys are the only true coral reefs in the continental waters of the United States. The Florida reef tract, composed of outer reefs and patch reefs, contains over fifty species of corals comprising over eighty percent of all the coral reef species in the Tropical Western Atlantic and over one hundred fifty species of fish.

What is a Giclee?

The Term : The term "Giclee print" connotes an elevation in printmaking technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. The Giclee printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction. Archival quality ensures that the prints are light-fast and non water soluble.
The Process : Giclee prints are created typically using professional 8-Colour to 12-Colour ink-jet printers. Among the manufacturers of these printers are vanguards such as Epson, which is used in Pasta's Islamorada galleries. These modern technology printers are capable of producing incredibly detailed prints for the fine art market.
The Advantages : Giclee prints are advantageous to artists who do not find it feasible to mass produce their work, but want to reproduce their art as needed, or on-demand. Once an image is digitally archived, additional reproductions can be made with minimal effort and reasonable cost. Another tremendous advantage of Giclee printing is that digital images can be reproduced to almost any size and onto various media, giving the artist the ability to customize prints for a specific client.
The Quality : The quality of the Giclee print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.

We are very proud to announce that sculptors Laura Jacobs and Lourdes Shay are being featured in our galleries. Stop by to see their exquisite creations.

Laura Jacobs is an American mixed media artist and sculptor. Jacobs is most recognized for her mixed media series that critically addresses issues of gender identity. In her humorous yet complex ensembles, she touches on the inclination of women to succumb to society's dictates and the tragedy hidden behind the "desire to be desired". Found objects like smashed glass, broken mirrors or objects from the sea are transformed into sculptures resembling animated foundation garments, corsets, bra's and shoes. Combining both elements of sexuality and comedy, her series provokes questions on the perception and image of women in society. Her work reflects a critical response to how the aesthetics influenced by the modern porn-industry and plastic surgery have created a dual and circus-like image of female bodies and sexuality. Her piece "Starved For Attention" is posted here.
Lourdes Mora-Shay-Cuban born artist raised in Spain where she was influenced by art and sculpture throughout Europe and years of travel. She has a passion for mixed media sculpting and acrylic painting. Each one of her sculptures is one of a kind. They are stone art and made with carved styro-foam and plaster, while using various natural elements such as leather skins, tree bark, fabrics and beads. She will incorporate collected pieces like seeds, or bone, metals, silver, brass or copper. Her piece "Malaya" is posted here.

It’s that time of the year again; turtle nesting season is here in the state of Florida! The majority of nesting in Florida occurs between May 1st and October 31st. About 90% of all sea turtle nesting in the United States takes place on Florida’s beaches, which means it is critical that residents and visitors alike do their part to ensure that sea turtles have a safe and successful nesting season.

To learn helpful tips on how you can help make nesting season better, visit our friends at Sea Turtle Conservancy.
