Her subjects are contemporary with great texture and depth. Her creative process incorporates a unique conceptual process blending ideas that reflect beyond the decorative.

The Giclée Process

From the French word meaning, “spray of ink”, a Giclée is created by using state of the art print technology to reproduce images. By printing the image on media much like that used for the original – usually either canvas of high-quality paper – a piece of artwork stunningly similar to the original is created. With the advent of Giclée, the prints have a higher apparent resolution than lithographs. The artist’s color approval and input are essential for creating the final custom setting for the edition.

The latest advancements in the Giclée process are the work of a sophisticated fine art production facility that utilizes the highest resolution digital printers. This edition of fine art prints is a collaboration between artist and a specially trained printing craftsman.
