GICLEE
(zhe-clay') is French for "squirt." The giclee printing process involves squirting microscopic dots of ink onto fine quality art paper. The inks are actually absorbed slightly and blend to create a fine art edition of the painting. The combination of archival inks and paper yield stunning vibrancy, realism and longevity (approximately 100 years.)

ARCHIVAL PAPERS
I use have textured surfaces and heavy weight. These papers are particularly conducive to accepting printmaking inks and paints for contrast, color saturation and image longevity.

ARCHIVAL INKS
are specially formulated and optimized for this process, desired color saturation and image longevity. This means more thorough coverage and brighter colors. And longer life.

LIMITED EDITIONS
of only 40 are created of each image and the master will be destroyed. Each print will be signed, dated and the edition number will be recorded. A letter of authenticity by the artist will accompany each purchase.
