What
is Giclee?
pronounced (gee-clay)
The evolution
of computer technologies has created a benefit for fine
art printing. A fine art Giclee is created from the artist's
original artwork. An extremely high resolution digital image
of the artwork is made, then loaded into specially enhanced
printers that output the digital image onto fine art paper
or canvas. Since the digital image includes every subtlety
and nuance of the original - including the smallest details
of light and shadow such as the textures of the paint and
canvas or paper - the fine art giclee is often indistinguishable
from the original work of art. Brush strokes have the appearance
of brush strokes, even though they are only two dimensional
images on paper. Typically, limited edition artwork is hand-signed
by the artist indicating their personal approval of each
work of art, then individually numbered to identify each
work of art as a part of the total edition.
All my giclee prints
are done as Limited Edition runs that vary in number from
50 - 150 per image and size.
All giclee prints come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
All my printing
is done with Giclee Print Services, Sidney, B.C. For any
print process or quality questions, please refer to GPS
