“We have produced oil and acrylic art works for years but they take time to complete meaning a high retail price for the finished product. By reproducing our artwork as giclee canvas prints, we enable art lovers to purchase striking works of art at affordable prices that are almost indistinguishable from the original piece. Sales of each piece are limited to 250 so buyers are assured a friend won’t have the same artwork on their wall, which happens very frequently with art bought at high-street retailers.” says Jennie Thomas.
