Limited Edition Gallery Wrapped Giclee Print.  30″ x 30″ x 1.5″ deep   (Also available in 18″ x 18″ square format.)

The Opuntia cactus, also known as the Prickly Pear bears this beautiful fruit that is edible, although it must be peeled carefully – you certainly don’t want to ingest the spines! In Mexico, prickly pears are often used to make a variety of dishes from appetizers to desserts and beverages. A prickly pear margarita is one of my favs!

    Watercolor Stone

    Scottsdale, AZ, US

    Inspired by my love of nature, I use transparent watercolors to create luminous botanical, wildlife and landscape paintings featuring strong composition, vibrant light and brilliant color. I create realistic and inviting images that encourage the viewer to engage with my subjects. My work tends to emphasize light and shadow as well as the vivid colors occurring in nature. The fluid and spontaneous nature of watercolor gives my work an organic and extemporaneous feel. My unique process allows me to paint on boards and canvas specially treated with layers of various absorptive elements in order to accept watercolor.

Description

Giclée (pronounced zhee-clay) is a French word which means “spraying of ink”. In this high-tech computer reproduction process, a fine layer of ink—more than four million droplets per second—is sprayed onto archival watercolor paper or canvas.  Each droplet is four times smaller than a human hair.

The first part of the process includes making a very high-resolution scan from Heidi’s original work. Then, the ink is applied to produce a combination of 512 chromatic changes with approximately 10 million color possibilities of highly saturated, nontoxic water-based ink.

This combination of high-resolution scanning and digital printing gives each image the vibrant and luminous results of an original watercolor—resulting in a print that can be difficult to distinguish from the original.

Each giclée print is protected by applying an extra strength UV coating to insure museum quality. The limited edition is individually hand-signed and numbered by the artist and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
