FAQ

What is Giclee Print

Giclee prints are higher resolution than regular printing standards, and also have a wider color gamut than both printing and photography.  Pigment inks are based on inks used on "cave drawings" that are still visible today.  They can last 10 times longer than dyes can (dyes are what most photo ink jet printers use)

Are these paintings? 

All of these images were captured originally with a digital camera.  The chosen images are than worked over in as many as 4 computer programs to achieve the final image.  Some of the techniques used could be compared to "digital painting".

Are there any special editions available?

Currently there are two limited Editions available through Deseret Book.  Also, don't miss the artist signing event taking place at the BYU Bookstore during Education Week and Women's Conference.
