What is a Giclee?

What is a giclee? It is French for "squirt". It is a high definition digital photograph reproduced with a high quality printer with ink jet technology. My giclee professional uses actual watercolor paper and the color is so accurate it can be difficult to discern which is the original. All materials used are archival (acid free so that paper will not yellow, and long lasting inks).

I have reproduced many of my paintings in this way. If you love the painting but it is sold, you can purchase a giclee for a fraction of the price. It comes numbered and signed.
