The Fine Print
I use digital methods to create high quality reproductions of my artwork known as “Giclée”. Pronounced “zhee-clay”, these ink jet prints are made with archival pigment inks on specially prepared acid-free fine art papers or canvas.

To make a Giclée print, a digital image of an original painting is “captured” with a high resolution camera, prepared with photo editing software, and then output with a special printer capable of rendering fine details and a very wide range of colors. The result are prints with exceptional clarity and color rivaling those of artist’s pigments.

I make Giclée prints one at a time in numbered editions. Works made at my studio are hand-signed and documented on the reverse of the print. Certain works available in my Store are digitally signed only. Stretched canvas prints and prints mounted on wood panel frames are varnished and ready to hang. Custom, made to order prints are also available upon request.
Sometimes I combine traditional and digital media materials and methods to create unique works such as Prayer, which combines watercolor, photography, and digital painting. Other examples include Redux and Lost City- prints on wood panel frames enhanced with acrylic painting. The version of Lost City shown above is on textured watercolor paper, enhanced with acrylic mediums, and attached to a wood panel frame with painted edges. A custom-made wood frame completes the ensemble. Customized works like this are available upon request.
