Iris Giclée Prints 

This is my newest line of fine art prints which are the highest quality digital reproductions utilizing an Iris printer.  Unlike a four color press (used to create lithographs, prints and posters), the color spectrum here is much closer to an artist's palette and thus can more accurately duplicate the original watercolor.  Upon framing both the original and a giclée of one of my newest images, Sanibel Light, I myself got them confused and almost priced the giclée as the original!  It made me a believer - quickly. My giclée editions will be limited to editions of 100 and, while the images are offered both on canvas and watercolor paper - the image will only be duplicated 100 times total.

Limited Edition Prints (Ltd)

Limited edition prints are lithographic prints limited to a finite number.   The artist determines the number of prints in an edition, and the edition size will be indicated.  All of my limited edition prints are printed on archival paper utilizing fade resistant inks and are signed and numbered.


Posters

Posters were usually created to benefit an event or fundraiser and have writing indicating this on the border.  Sometimes they are printed on a lighter weight paper and may not utilize the high quality fade resistant inks.  When they are framed to image, however (not showing any border) they can look like a high quality print.  All of my posters are signed.
 


Open Edition Prints

Open editions are art that may be reprinted when the edition sells out.  I usually don't reprint an image because I feel that when it's gone its time to move on.  However, on rare occasions, demand continues and an image will be reprinted. Generally when there's a second printing, it increases the value of the first run. All prints are signed.


Artist Proofs

Artist proofs of limited editions and giclées are first prints off the press after I approve the color. They do not have a number, instead the words artist/proof appear after my hand signed signature. If available, artist proofs will be sent at no additional charge upon request.  Please specify that in your order.


Personalized Prints

 I will be happy to personalize a print to anyone who asks.  Usually I do this right on the image so the print can be framed to image and does not have to show the white border.  If you want a print personalized, please print the recipient's name, as you would like to see it.  If you have a special message, such as happy birthday, please print that. Enter this info in the "Special Requests" field of the order form.
