Most of the bird and wildlife paintings are available as giclée prints.

What is Giclée, and why is it the next best thing to owning the original?

Giclée (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The quality that Giclée printmaking offers makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original artwork, resulting in wide acceptance of high quality Giclées by galleries, museums, and private collectors.

How does a Giclée differ from a traditional print (a lithograph)?

Giclée printmaking derives its quality from its apparently "dotless" imaging technology which contrasts with traditional fine art prints which typically relies on printing screen pattern dots to reproduce full-range color. Because traditional offset printing dot patterns are detectable to the unaided eye, it is less desirable than Giclée fine art prints for fine art reproduction.

Traditional offset prints are typically restricted to papers that varywidely from what the original artwork was created on - especially when reproducing oil on canvas. The Giclée process enables reproduction on virtually the same media as the original artwork whether it is on canvas, textured watercolor paper, or specialty fine art papers.

The result is a reproduction that is virtually indistinguishable from the original artwork.
