I grew up surrounded by wilderness, old farm lands and an apple orchard. We had horses and ducks to keep our family entertained. I started drawing as soon as I could hold a pencil. I wanted to be a cowboy when I grew up and my earliest drawings were of horses. I got a lot of art supplies for Christmas and birthdays that kept me working on improving my drawing skills.</p> <p>Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.</p>
