What Is a Giclee’ ?
The term “giclee” was coined in the early 1990s by professional printmaker Jack Duganne. Giclee printing is the premier method for fine art pieces because it uses the highest-quality archival materials and inks.
Superior in regard to color accuracy, tonal control, dynamic range and rendering fine detail, a printing method that delivers the best-quality results on materials that can be passed down from generation to generation, fine art giclee prints are a fantastic choice.
Once signed, labelled or numbered however, giclée prints can increase in value over time, as Artists gain more recognition.
Gallery Wrap
Gallery wraps are beautiful finished works of art – ready to hang. Printed on premium-artist grade canvas, the image is completely wrapped around the sides of a standard ¾” or sturdy 1½” thick stretcher bars, eliminating the need for framing. All Gallery wraps are finished with a durable clear Satin varnish coating that protects the surface while enhancing the richness and vibrancy of the colors. We even include the hanging hardware, so it couldn’t be easier! They really are an excellent value; you get the printing, stretching, coating, hanging hardware and a beautifully finished piece all for less than the cost of just one custom frame. The quality of this Giclée rivals any you could find throughout the country using only the finest quality archival artist grade canvas.

It was the end of January; white, grey and black. I needed a boost of color in my palette. I bought some beautiful coral roses at Trader Joes, placed them under an orange lamp with some leftover satin ribbon. Adding some lemons and other objects I moved my easel and tables to the south end of the studio. I began with a transparent oil painting capturing the colors using watercolor techniques. After a few sessions, I layered oil paint, oil bars and edited; eliminating unnecessary elements favoring abstraction. The artwork found resolution with brave decisions, high color and a composition that excited me. I hope you feel the same.
