With the advent of Giclee (pronounced zhee-clay), the art of fine art printing has taken on a whole new dimension. The clarity
provided by ultra high-resolution digital Giclee printers dramatically exceeds traditional printing processes such as lithography
and serigraphy, and has become the new standard of excellence for fine art reproduction.
A Giclee print is visually exquisite as well as technically amazing, being unsurpassed for brilliant true color and razor-sharp
detail and providing a continuous-tone look that precisely replicates the original. The resulting reproduction has no perceptible
dot pattern, an endless array of richly saturated color, and displays every nuance of the original image.
The Ultrachrome pigmented inks are the finest available and offer a 100+ year light-fastness and UV-resistance under museum
archival conditions when used in conjunction with the proper substrates. They have been tested by a third party, Wilhelm Imaging
Research, who has determined that prints created with these inks on specific substrates will not begin to exhibit any signs
of aging, such as color shift or visible fading for at least 100 years. Unlike traditional printing processes, Giclee inks
blend into the paper's surface rather than sitting on top, creating a reproduction with the same look and feel as your original
work of art. The artist's color approval and input are essential for creating the final output for each edition.
Giclee reproductions are the new standard in the art world. They have been shown at the Metropolitan Museum in New York,
The Los Angeles County Museum, The British Museum and many others.

Each original print will be signed and numbered (S/N)
at the time of your order, with the next lowest available edition number.
The designation A/P represents "Artist's Proof," which are the first prints of an edition, during which time
the artist is supervising the adjustments for the entire edition. The variations that can occur at this stage cause them to
be of particular interest to collectors because of their uniqueness. The limited edition of Artist's Proofs is approximately
15% of the regular Limited Edition amount.
A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) will be issued with each print. The COA includes:
Title of the painting
Medium
Size
Date of creation
Edition Size and Number
Signature of the artist
It will also include your name as the owner to establish a record of provenance.
