Giclee prints are made with high resolution captures of original fine art work. The digital images are then printed with professional 4- 12 color archival pigment ink printers. The prints can be made on various surfaces matching the original medium such as canvas, watercolor paper and photobase paper. Giclees provide better accuracy than any other means of reproduction, producing stunning color, definition and saturation.

From the standpoint of the art collecting public, a Giclee Print is a recognized and collectable category of fine art found in museums, fine art and photographic galleries.

I work with an excellent printer who produces extremely high quality work with great care, expertise and state of the art technology. They take the time and consideration to work with the print until a proof has been made that we both agree is faithful to the original. The work is then reproduced with pigment–based inks which have more archival properties than the commonly used water based inks. It is printed onto the reputable German Hahnemuhle fine art watercolor paper or onto canvas which is then coated with a protective UV varnish. We finally check each print again before I hand sign and number the print. The number shows the unique number of that edition and the edition size, eg. 50/250. Each print is one of a limited edition and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
