Fine Art Reproduction

Ara Fine Art Prints and Reproductions   Ara Fine Art is the self publishing arm of araleites.com. Since the artist creates her paintings in acrylics on a paper surface, gicleé prints are often completed on an archival canvas surface. These are then stretched on stretcher bars which can be framed without having to use glass or Plexiglas to protect the surface. It will look similar to an oil painting and there are no reflections resulting from the glazing. Should the client prefer to have the reproduction printed on archival paper, then the piece must be matted and framed with a glass or Plexiglas sheet to protect the paper surface from potential damage....canvas does not have this problem, unless someone intentionally damages the work. Giclée Prints and Reproductions are available in a variety of sizes, printed on archival surfaces with archival inks on an Epson 10000 wide format printer, and can be ordered through the artist. Giclée prints are always limited editions; the larger the print, the smaller the edition. All prints are available in the standard watercolor sheet sizes(11" X 15", 15" X 22", and 22" X 30") as well as standard frame sizes. Currently available are prints in all the series listed on the artist's web site and include about 135 different images. Email the artist or phone for a thumbnail sized inventory of the series of your interest(mailing fee required). Enhanced Giclée prints are one of a kind and considered by the artist as an original piece. These paintings have gold or silver leaf, pearl essence paint, or other paint not available as a printing ink and for this reason no two prints will look alike, they may carry different emotional content, or be comprised of different colors than the original design. Another aspect of enhancement may be an original painting that may have started out as a print but has been enhanced to the degree that it is composed of more painting techniques than printing techniques. Included as an enhanced image are compositions contrived from several of the artist's paintings. These are then developed as paintings and considered 'original paintings', not prints. This is one of the experimental techniques the artist is using to expand her personal visions. Call Ara Fine Art at 831-466-0311 for an appointment or email us at ara@arafineart.com.
