About The MUSEUM:

Thank you for your encouragement

I am a Photo Artist. I photograph the image I like, print it on canvas then enhance the Art object. Rephotograph or scan and then print the Art I wish to sell. I only sell Photo Art Giclee Prints. I use a 9600 Epson Printer to produce my Giclees and prints. I make what I call Window Shade Art and Large Wall Hanging Art. For prints lager than I can print, I have them printed at Zazzle where I also show my Art for sale. www.zazzle.com/the_museum*

Nature is Beautiful;
Art captures the Soul.

I never sell an original, they go into The MUSEUM for show not go.

What is a Giclee?

Giclée
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Giclée (pronounced [ʒiːˈkleɪ] "zhee-clay" or /dʒiːˈkleɪ, from French IPA: [ʒiˈkle]), is an invented name (i.e. a neologism) for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray"[1]. It was coined by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints.
