What is a Giclée?
Giclée is a high quality digital reproduction taken from a French term referring to "squirting" liquids. In art terminology, giclée applies to squirting microscopic ink droplets onto art materials such as canvas or watercolor paper using a computer-driven printing device for the purpose of art production or reproduction. To be a true giclée, the prints must be printed on art material (canvas, watercolor paper, etc.), be able to be printed at any size and use high-gamut, moisture-resistant, archival inks. Giclées are specifically targeted to being displayed in indoor lighting; generally bright, direct lighting, such as galleries or offices. Quality reproduction, color fidelity and long term archivability are major attributes.

How long will it last?
With proper care, Life-span estimates of giclée prints, printed with pigmented inks, by third-party testing run as long as 100 years without noticeable fading. You can find a number of reports on this on the internet.

How do I care for my Giclée?
Like any piece of fine art, your paper giclée should be matted and framed by a professional who uses acid-free, museum quality materials. Direct sunlight and direct moisture is not recommended for giclée reproductions or fine art originals.

What kind of paper is it on?
Sightly textured, matte finish, off-white or bright white watercolor paper. The papers may vary due to availability.

What is a limited edition?
A limited edition giclée reproduction is signed and numbered by the artist, and limited in number to the size of the edition. They may be embellished by the artist,as well. This is the reason limited editions are more expensive.

What is included in my giclée purchase?

What do you paint with?
All my original paintings are watercolors.

Why don’t you have standard sized images?
