All prints in my shop are fine art Giclee style printing which
create the highest quality. Originating from the French term, “la giclée,” it means, ‘that which is sprayed or squirted’ meaning there is no pixelation. A
giclee print is a combination of high resolution artwork, premium paper choice,
pigment-based inks and quality inkjet printers.

I use the highest standard of papers such as Hahnemuhle
which is 100% cotton rag, sustainably sourced and acid free meaning it will never yellow. This is a lovely thicker weight paper with a beautiful texture.
The biggest difference between a standard inkjet print which produces a poster art print and a fine art print is that giclee’s are printed using pigment-based
inks rather than dye-based inks that are found in lower-cost inkjets. Pigment-based inks are archival meaning they have a longer lifespan: lasting
anywhere from 100 - 200 years without significant fading so it will look beautiful on your walls for years to come. They can capture a vast amount more
colours and subtleties than a standard print and look like the originals!

Poster art will use a lighter weight paper which can ripple
in a frame and cheaper inks which have less depth and fade over time.

Read more about the intricate process of creating original
art into high quality giclee prints on my BLOG.

Please note I spend a great deal of time calibrating the colours and investing in print testing so
that they appear as close as possible to the original and my intention for the piece. I use a curated colour palette and am passionate about how colour can affect a space and ourselves. Colours however will vary from screen to screen,
I suggest looking at the artwork on a few different screens to ensure you are happy. Any issues with your purchase please get in touch.

I retain all rights to all artwork I create. This includes the rights to the image of sold & commissioned original paintings.

Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing full or partial rights to your painting.  Some collectors choose to purchase my right to reproduce the artwork to ensure it will never become a print, I’d love to discuss this with you.

WORKSHOPS & CLASSES

This is something I would love to pursue in the future, so watch this space…! I’m a keen yogi and
myself been on yoga/surf/mindfulness retreats. The meditative aspect of
painting and the magical alchemy of watercolour is soothing, healing and if you
feel it would be a great fit I would love to share what I have learnt along the way.

Please contact me if you would like me to attend any retreats you may run, I would love to
discuss.
