"Habitat" (Detail) Limited Edition Giclee Print by PONSHOP + Sophiola - James Monroe High School Mural
"Habitat" (Detail) Limited Edition Giclee Print by PONSHOP + Sophiola - James Monroe High School Mural
This Giclee Print originates from the community mural completed in July of 2024 at James Monroe High School in Fredericksburg, Virginia - a collaboration between Gabriel Pons of PONSHOP and local artist Sophia Pineda. This is the fourth public mural that Sophia Pineda and Pons have accomplished together since 2021.
Titled “Habitat”, this 980 Square-Foot mural is a collaboration between Fredericksburg City Schools, Sophiola, PONSHOP, and community volunteers. The inspiration for the artwork came primarily from the school’s unique geographic location, situated between the city’s canal path and the Rappahannock River - highlighting the wildlife, flora and fauna of the area.
This project was made possible through the initiatives of James Monroe High School teachers, Casey Willging and David Lovegrove, the Pineda Family (Sophiola) and Team Bayne/Pineda-Cary Street Partners. Special thanks to the all student volunteers that contributed to painting the mural throughout the year. Thanks to all the faculty and staff of Fredericksburg City Schools that helped facilitate the mural initiative. Thanks to Sherwin Williams paint for supporting this project with paint supplies.
Team Sophiola: Carol and Andre Pineda, Sophia Pineda, Vicky Barrera
PONSHOP Assistants: Dante Jenkins, Gillian Hoback, Megan Shaughnessy, Cairo Pons

What is a "Giclee"? Basically the word is derived from the French verb gicler, meaning "to spray". Giclee prints use archival inks and acid free paper to produce high-resolution prints from a digital image. I use a professional-grade Epson Printer with Epson brand inks and paper to create these prints.
