There is a difference between making an exact reproduction of an original painting and making a "digital creation". The cost and complexity of professionally produced gicleé prints often lead to compromises, with results that bear faint resemblance to the originals. We have taken the time to make sure every print we offer is as close to the original painting as possible.

Knowledgeable collectors have been amazed with the side-by-side comparisons, often unable to tell the original from the print. We feel out gicleé prints are among the finest anywhere.

All prints are limited editions, signed and numbered, with certificates of authenticity. Our prints are made with 100% archival Waterford and D'Arches watercolor paper.
