What is a Giclee?

"Giclee" (pronounced 'Gee Clay'), is a French verb meaning, "to squirt."

The Giclee printing process is an innovation in printmaking technology. The process involves spraying microscopic dots of archival quality ink onto acid free, 100% cotton rag paper.

Giclee printing rivals all other technologies in archival quality image duplication. It offers the highest apparent print resolution available today. Giclee printing captures every nuance of an original painting to turn out stunning, incredibly detailed, and accurate fine art prints.

The image permanence of Giclee prints is very stable. With proper care, Giclee prints give both fade and color shift resistance for at least 75 years. As such, Giclée prints enjoy worldwide acceptance for artists, museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries alike.

Many of the paintings displayed in both the Current Works and Gallery sections of this website are available as Giclee Prints. Please contact Bev for additional information.
