The giclee (pronounced "jeeclay") is a category of fine art often called "iris" after the original digital inkjet printer that produced the print. "Giclee" is a French term translated as "spray of ink". Each print has an intensity of color and detail and an almost photographic mirroring of the original, which makes it a valued addition to the art collector. It is a new art form that has been widely accepted by museums and galleries. For this reason it is not unusual to see the words "museum quality" assigned to a limited edition iris-giclee print. We use Epson printers, canvas, and papers. Only Epson uses 7 multi-jet print heads to spray archival-grade pigment inks on a variety of fine-art substrates, paper, and canvas. After a high resolution copy of your art is made. Color corrections are made to have it as the original. The prints then can be made any size of the same ratio of the original. Pricing: $50.00 setup fee for first image $25.00 setup for any other images setup at the same time. $18.00 for high resolution CD of one image. Print charge for somer velvet paper- 12 cents per square inch. Print charge for Canvas - 15 cents per square inch. Minimum print charge $50.00.&classes=Classes|

We enjoy working in our fields of art. We both enjoy building relationships with our clients. We want our clients to feel relaxed and not rushed. We both want the enjoyment of the art of photography to be felt by the client during the photo session and also with the photography. We specialize in photographing weddings. For all of our weddings, we do complete wedding coverage. The bride has a photographer with her from when she is dressed until she is married and leaving with her new husband. We do not put a time limit on coverage because we feel it can cause stress on this special day. Free wedding advice: The wedding day is wonderful and can take much time and money in planning. Don't let the wedding make you forget that the important part is the marriage.
Pamela Smith, Artist
I have been painting as long as I can remember. It is a God given talent for me and a blessing in my life. I sold my first painting at the age of 15. I was hired as an artist at the age of 18. I have been painting professional ever since. That was in 1976. I am expert in hand painted furniture. Living in the furniture capital, most of my contracts have been with leading furniture companies. Most of my work is sold before I begin. The customer mostly designs my murals. I paint what they ask, even when they can't picture it their selves. If they don't have a clue, then we discuss what they like, how formal they are, and we come up with the perfect design. I have lived in North Carolina all my life. I am married with three children. North Carolina is a beautiful state from the coast to the mountains. I paint must of NC. &endVars=yes&doneVars=yes
