Forest art - Modern Nature photography

On a weekend trip to Napa Valley,  I was totally inspired by the mighty Oaks surrounding what can only be described as our lodging in a perfect treehouse. I wanted to transform our condo walls to recreate this sensation of modern treehouse life. A series of oversized Giclee' Canvas' and Fine art photographs printed on a rich Metallic art paper became reality. Custom sizing, by request.

Petite 10 x 10" prints are currently available in the Nature Collection at

Beautiful Paris, France – Travel Photography by Mary Serantoni

• By: Stephanie Kay-Kok

Mary Serantoni is a fine art travel photographer who’s originally from Chicago and now lives in Phoenix. She loves photographing the beauty of European streets. Her pictures of Venice, Italy look like soft paintings, while her shots of Paris, France are sharper, focusing on specific details like the poetry of a colorful door or a picturesque metro sign. Rather than showing grand scenes, Mary captures the beauty of Paris through these lovely details.

To see more of Mary’s photography, visit her website, blog or Etsy shop.

Great Inspirations

"Art is the only way to run away without leaving home." 
-- Twyla Tharp

This is such a profound quote for anyone who has experienced great escapism through an art form. Music, writing, drawing and painting, eventually stepped aside for Photography, a synthesis of genres. Whenever I miss the people, the arts, and the energy of Chicago, I spend time creating 'City Novellas' ©. Enjoy!
