Note: Square Paintings will print with white at top and bottom on paper prints (see mock up photos). Canvas and Aluminum will be square. See Variation size options at checkout to clarify.
Quality:
Paper prints are printed with a special Giclee (jee-clay) large format printer which utilizes pigment inks rather than dyes. These pigments are very intense and are essentially paint! Our acid free 100% cotton rag, bright white paper is made and sourced in the USA and is absolutely gorgeous. All of these materials combine to make museum quality, archival art that will last for a very long time if framed properly (under glass, with acid free matting). Each one is hand numbered and signed.
Canvas Giclees (jee-clays) are printed one by one by ourselves as well on the same large format art printers with 10 different ink cartridges. They are then hand varnished twice and stretched on a high quality, heavy duty wood stretcher bar and then hand signed in acrylic poured paint by Kelly.
Embellished Giclees start out as canvases, then Kelly puts them on her easel to give them the hand touched magic only artist applied paint can bring. The textured acrylic paint adds dimension and interest to the surface, creating a very close feeling to an original piece of art, which they actually are!
Aluminum Giclees are gorgeous in person and have a slight glossy finish. Many people think it is a painting on the back of glass when they first see them. Each is hand sublimated in Jupiter by a specialty studio that has built a national reputation with artists and collectors. We are very lucky to have them here in our little beach town!

Easy to Frame:
Paper prints are created in standard sizes to make it as easy as possible for you to find ready made frames at your local hobby store.
Industry standard frame sizes:
8.5x11
16x20
20x24
30x40
Canvas Giclees (jee-clay) are gallery wrapped (canvas wraps all the way around edge and is stapled on the back), eliminating the need for any frame at all, and hanging hardware is included in your order. All you need is a hammer and a wall!:)
Embellished Giclees are gallery wrapped also.
Aluminum Giclees do not require framing and are ready to hang.
