FAQs
What is a Giclee Art Print?
Huh??!! What’s that?
(Pronounced Zheee-clay)
Giclee prints are created on acid-free fine art paper using wide-format inkjet printers and pigment-based inks instead of dye-based inks.
This allows for enhanced detail and resolution, greater color accuracy, and adds archival value to the piece.
Behind glass, this print should last 100 years in home display. And potentially up to 300 years in dark storage!
(But please do show off and share your new piece!)
How do I care for my new Giclee Art Print?
To care for your new Giclee Art Print
- Display out of direct sunlight.
- Store on the acid-free backing board in the acid-free plastic sleeve until framed.
- Avoid directly touching the print with bare hands, and instead handle the piece by the edges.
- Keep in a controlled environment, avoiding extreme temperature and humidity fluctuations.
- When framing, consider acid-free mats and materials that provide UV protection for prolonging the life of your print.

Do you ship Internationally?
At this early stage, I currently only ship in and to destinations in the US.
In the near future, I plan to use a drop shipping platform that would allow for my art to be purchased by my collectors in countries abroad!
