What is a Giclee?
Simply put, a giclee is a fine art print created by using a specialized high resolution inkjet printer. A giclee an “art print” but giclee prints stand apart from normal art prints with their extremely high level of quality, longevity and value compared to a standard print. Pronounced “zhee-clay,” the word giclee is French for “to spray.” These are made to last, gallery-quality prints.
This literal interpretation of the word defines what the art of giclee printing is: reproducing art through a printer to exactly resemble an original piece. 
 
 
"Night Watch" was created as I stayed up one night during a storm to keep an eye on the boat. As I sat there on my perch of a helm, I watched each flash of lightning illuminating the deck of the ship. I drifted into my head and started envisioning what my existence felt like. I wanted to capture the vivid lighting strikes, my sleep-deprived state and the needed awareness. It felt comical in nature and thus Night Watch was born. A crow best represented my feeling, and I wanted him to have an exaggerated expression that best represented my own caffeine-enduced, vigilant state aboard the boat.
 
The original was created on archival quality, acid-free, cold pressed watercolour paper and drawn in both charcoal and ink.
