Original Oil Paintings / Giclee Fine Art Prints

Gicleé Prints Available

The computer revolution has affected the printing of paintings in the last few years, the most notable way being the introduction of gicleé prints. Unlike mass-produced lithographs which are run at high speed on a printing press using inks that fade in a few years, a gicleé print is made using a sophisticated ink-jet printer and high quality ink. These inks use pigments instead of dyes, making them resistant to fading. The print is very faithful to the original painting.

With offset lithographs, the low cost per print can only be achieved by running a large number of prints, requiring an initial investment in the thousands of dollars. This makes it impossible to run two or three prints of a painting. This disadvantage is solved by the gicleé process. Since each print is produced individually, the artist is not required to sell a large number of prints in order to make printing an edition economically worthwhile. Each print can be produced “on demand”.

My Prints

I have had prints made from several of my paintings. Prints area available on a satin paper, framed and unframed. If you desire prints on canvas, please contact me for prices since the canvas is a little more expensive.
