ABOUT MY GICLEE PRINTS:
My facination with painting history has lead me to create hundreds of images. Over time I found that I truly regretted parting with my originals because it seemed to me that all that research and pigment was simply dissappearing into private collections where it was not available for the rest of us to see. As a result I decided to make my work more widely available in the form of prints.
Initially I produced lithographic prints but soon advanced to watercolour giclee' and finally canvas giclee' prints. It is the canvas giclee' print that now represents my current work.
I follow a strict code of ethics in the creation of my limited edition prints. While my limited editions may run to any total number selected by me, I generally I limit the edition to 95 prints (sn95). I aso create 5% additional Publisher Proofs (pp) and 10% additional Artist Proofs (ap). In the case of a (sn95) limited edition this results in a total of 110 prints in the run. I produce a standard print dimensioned at 20" x 32" and a larger print at 28" x 44". Occassionally a super-large format is run at 34" x 54". Regardless of the sizes that I print, the total of all the prints in a limited edition run will not exceed stated (sn) total; which in the case above would be a total of 110 giclee's.
Each limited edition print is accompanied with a numbered certificate of authenticity. The certificate also contains a summary of the history of the image as well as a few artistic comments.
