You can learn about this by visiting my Place & Process page. I talk about my process on Instagram too, so make sure you follow me there!

Giclée (pronounced “zhee-KLAY”) is a French term meaning “to spray”. It references the process that a special inkjet printer uses to reproduce fine art. It’s important to note that not all inkjet prints are giclée prints.
My giclée prints are done by a graphic professional who also handles the scanning process, ensuring a high-quality capture that preserves the colour and detail of the original artwork (it’s hard to even tell the two apart).
You can expect archival-quality (also known as “museum-quality”) reproductions printed with fade-resistant pigment inks on 100% cotton, acid-free, smooth, matte, heavyweight paper.
-
Pressed flowers fade significantly over time, especially when exposed to light, and become more fragile. Giclée prints preserve the colour and detail of the pressed flowers but don’t start to degrade for at least 80 years. Having said that, originals have their own beauty too, even when faded, so I may consider selling them in the future. If you’re interested in a particular original, let me know.

I’m willing to consider it. If you have something in mind, please get in touch.

I don’t, but personally I gravitate toward natural wood that doesn’t yellow with age (often called “white oak”) frames. I also like thin, matte black frames for a slightly more graphic look.
-
Currently, prints are available in 8″x10″ and 11″x17″ sizes. These are standard sizes so that custom framing isn’t necessary.
Please note that, at present, each individual work only comes in one size so that it remains true to scale.
-
Both options feature the same image at the same scale—the difference is simply whether the print has a white border.
Trimmed to size means the paper is cut exactly to the dimensions of the artwork, with no white border around the image. This works well if you plan to frame the print without a mat or display it with the edges of the paper visible.
While a ½" archival border leaves a clean white border around the image, giving more flexibility for matting and handling. If you plan to frame your print with a window mat, this is generally the better choice.
If you're unsure which option is right for your needs, you're welcome to get in touch before ordering.
-
I've taken packaging of the prints into careful consideration so, whether the print is for you or someone else, I want it to feel like a gift arriving in the mail. You’ll find that my packaging is both eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing—and a bit more special than you might expect.
If you’d like a hand-written gift card to be included at no extra charge you can say so at checkout.
-
Yes! Please get in touch with me if you’re interested in purchasing one.

I ship anywhere within Canada. If you live outside Canada and would like to make a purchase, please contact me directly and I can give you a shipping quote.
-
Prints are placed on backing boards and slipped into clear bags with protective closures. They’re then mailed flat in rigid mailers.
Orders are shipped via Canada Post via Expedited shipping (including tracking). -
Prints are made on demand, so please allow up to ten working days for your order to be processed. Prints are then shipped from the west coast of Canada, so the arrival time depends on your location.
If you’d like to order a print as a gift but it won’t get there on time, please reach out to me and I can provide you with a digital gift notice to share in the meantime.
-
Since I work from my home studio, I like to maintain some privacy so local pickup is only possible if we already know each other.
-
As a very small business, I’m unfortunately unable to provide refunds or exchanges. Please choose your prints carefully. That said, if something goes wrong, I’ll make it right.
