What is a Giclee Print?
Giclee, or digital prints, are high quality creations using excellent colour matching with lightfast inks on museum quality papers.
Each print is made separately, rather than mass produced in traditional offset-lithography. No screen or other mechanical procedure is used and as a result there is no visible dot screen pattern. The print has all the tonalities and hues of the original painting.
With pigment inks used on archival art paper and prints kept out of direct sunlight, their light fastness will last more than twice as long as offset-lithography prints.

What is a Limited Edition Print?
A limited edition is a set number of prints, which are hand signed, numbered and titled by the artist.

What is a Pastel?
Pastel is a durable and permanent medium, made from dry, pure pigment. Unlike any other media, it does not darken or fade and if placed under glass, pastel paintings will last indefinitely. Museums all over the world display pastels that are hundreds of years old and have not lost any of their brilliance. Some of the old masters preferred to work in pastel because comparable quality was impossible to attain from other media such as oils and watercolours. Pastel Paintings are sensitive to touch and should be framed behind glass, away from direct sunlight
