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 reproductions with exceptional clarity and color rivaling those of artist’s pigments.

I make these prints one at a time in numbered editions. Works made at my studio are hand-signed and documented on the reverse of the print. Stretched canvases and prints mounted on wood panel frames are varnished and ready to hang.
Sometimes I use traditional and digital media together to create unique works such as Prayer, which combines watercolor, photography, and digital painting. Other examples include Redux and Lost City; the version 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.
