Giclée Prints
We are often asked, "What is a Giclée"?
The word giclée comes from a French phrase "le gicleur" which quite literally means “to squirt” or “to spray”. In the 1980's the word was modified and giclée, (pronounced as jeeclay), was used to describe a new print process that involve very high quality ink-jet printers that produce the most accurate prints possible while using fade resistant, archival grade inks on fine art media such as canvas or watercolor papers.

Original Artwork
What constitutes Original Artwork? This is the original work not a reproduction of any kind. They are one of a kind, created by the artist and while they may be inspired by someone or something they came from the artist's own creative vision. These works are often framed and depending on the medium, may or may not be under glass. Shipping of items with glass presents special care and in some cases, an artist may choose not to take that risk. In most cases the piece may be picked up from the gallery after purchasing.
