What is a giclee print?
A giclee print is a museum-quality reproduction of a painting on canvas using archival inks. “Giclee” is French, meaning “to spray”. The inks are sprayed using the micro-jets of a printer onto a surface of canvas. After being embellished by Artist Cyndy Carstens, a final varnish is applied for protection from moisture and UV rays.
Do you ship art?
Yes, Carstens will oversee careful packaging and use only reliable/professional shipping vendors for artworks that require shipment.
Do you install art?
Carstens uses professional delivery and installation experts and will oversee installation when needed or requested.
Do you accept commissions?
At this time, Cyndy is taking a step back from commissioned work to focus on her painting for exhibitions.
What are my options for framing?
Most paintings are framed using high-quality custom frames selected based on what compliments each piece. However, frames are subject to taste and can be changed. Artworks can also be purchased without framing or Cyndy can help you make framing selections.
Can artworks be purchased online?
Yes, but not in a traditional sense. For paintings available through Artisor Gallery, a live link is attached to the description of each piece.
For purchases without a link to Artisor, please contact Cyndy directly. Please phone or email so she may help you select and purchase the perfect painting for your needs.
