Q What is a Giclee ? |
From the French
word meaning "spray of ink", a Giclee is a
print created by using state of the art
computer technology to reproduce images. By
printing the image on media much like that
used for the original – usually either
canvas or high-quality paper – a piece of
artwork stunningly similar to the original
is created. Giclees are shipped rolled.

Q. What is a
Lithograph? |
Based on the
principle that oil and water repel, a
Lithograph is created when an artist
produces an oil-based or pen image on a
stone or piece of metal. This surface is
then moistened and covered with an oil-based
ink. The resulting chemical reaction between
the oil and water drives away the ink on the
surface – except where the drawing was first
done. Fine quality paper is then placed
against the surface and a lithographic press
is used to create the print. Modern
technology and processes have provided
artists with many unique methods with which
to create magnificent lithographs. All of
Belinda's litho's are signed and numbered in
editions of 1000.

Q. What is a Fine
Art Print? |
Fine art prints
are reproductions in archiva inks on
archival paper. The 8 X 10 images are in an
11 X 14 matte while the 11 X 14 prints are
in a 16 X 20 matte. The prints are matted in
a plastic sleeve.
