What is a Giclée Print?

Giclée (pronounced zhee'clay) is a French term meaning “to spray” or “to squirt”. It references the process that an inkjet printer uses to reproduce fine art or photography to create individual copies of the original piece. With giclée printing, you can expect the most advanced scanning technology, color correction, printers, ink sets and 100% cotton canvas wrapped around wooden stretcher bars creating a professional gallery wrap.

What is A Hand Embellished Giclée Print?

Embellishments are artistic alterations made by artists to the giclée print to customize the piece.  Nothing can beat the original edition of an artwork. However, you can still get a giclée that is a one-of-a-kind with my addition of extra dimension brushstrokes that enhance the color and texture creating a unique piece of art that breathes authenticity and originality.  Each print is complete with a hand painted signature.

​

One of the biggest reasons to embellish a giclée is that it increases the value of the print. Embellished giclées are generally sold for a price between a simple print and an original piece. Because embellishments make the work more original, it becomes more valuable and rare. The high quality and long lifespans of giclées ensure that the prints appreciate in value.
