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.

* These are suggestions of readily available
frame sizes that may be compatible with your print! Some prints are of non-standard size due to the nature of the unique paper or canvas size of the original piece. 

For best results, please consult with a professional framer for custom frames or your local art supply store for further guidance.

How will my Giclee Art Print come shipped?

  • Your new Limited Edition Giclee Art Print will come packaged on an acid-free backing board in an acid-free plastic sleeve.

  • Limited Edition Prints will come with an artist signed Certificate of Authenticity, enclosed on the other side of the backing board.

  • Current Limited Edition Prints of size options from 5x5 up to 10x15 and 11x14 will be shipped flat in a ridged cardboard mailer.

  • Future Limited Edition Prints of sizes larger than the above listed, will likely be shipped in a cardboard tube for protection.

  • If your order contains multiple items ( i.e. Multiple prints, in addition to other bulkier items from Kathleen Culler Art Shop), they may arrive in the same ridged mailer, and may also arrive in an additional shipment to best protect your new purchase!

(You'll only be charged shipping once at checkout, based on the total item weight, estimated packaging weight, and the final destination.)

*Limited Edition Giclee Prints are packaged by and sent directly from the artist, Kathleen Culler.

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!

You're an actress!? Do you still do any acting?

At this precise time, I am not working on any projects.

BUT...

I would LOVE to get back into it! It would be a dream to play an role onscreen as an artist/painter!
