Giclee - A giclee (pronounced ghee-clay) is a type of digitally created fine art print that describes a technique of spraying archival ink. It is created on a special kind of high resolution printer using high resolution scans. The Giclee process uses top of the line ink jet Iris printers that can print millions of colors at a very high resolution and on various materials such as canvas, watercolor paper, linen, etc. These works do not relate to other media but are created within the computer environment in a very similar manner to other forms of printmaking.

Screenprints - A stencil process in which the stencil is placed on a screen. Ink is forced through the screen onto paper, fabric, or metal, forming a distinct layer of pigment on the surface. The terms serigraph, screenprint, and silkscreen are synonyms. This section also includes some etchings and lithographs.

Paintings - Painting is the practice of applying pigment suspended in a carrier (or medium) and a binding agent (a glue) to a surface (support) such as paper, canvas or a wall. Humans have been painting for about six times as long as they have been using written language. Artistic painting is considered by many to be among the most important of the art forms.
