What is a Giclee?

A Giclee is an excellent reproduction of the original painting on canvas. Giclees are a higher print quality than the traditional lithography and are more expensive to reproduce. Gicleeis a French term (pronounced “jee-clay”) which means to spray ink.
Many museums across the world have either hanging exhibitions of Giclees or have purchased prints for their permanent collections.
Our Giclees are printed on the same high quality canvas as original paintings.
