What is a Giclee?

A Giclee is an excellent reproduction of the original painting on canvas. Giclees are more a higher print quality and are more expensive to reproduce than the traditional lithography. 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 the original paintings.
