All of the prints are archival giclees produced by us and in our studio. The term "giclee" refers to the printing process. This process provides wonderful color accuracy and detail without the dot pattern of an offset lithograph. David scans the original and uses photoshop to correct colors. Color correcting is a skill and can go quickly or take days of trying. We have a large format Epson printer and use Epson's archival inks on acid-free Somerset Velvet paper. The inks are light-fast and under normal household conditions will not fade for 100  years.

Birds are literally everywhere and a stage as little as a window ledge can spark an interest in them. My own interest began on a city street lined by old American elms. I was about eight years old and it was the raucous and beautiful blue jays that seemed ever present. One day, I came across a fledgling on the ground and the wonder of holding that bit of life in my hands has never left me! That moment woke something up in me and from that time on I watched for stray feathers and took notice of the life in the trees.

There are so many reasons for a fascination with birds but the first has to be accessibility. Even if you don’t lure them to a feeder you will see them. They drop quickly into our world and just as easily lift off and are gone! Just a little time watching and you’ll see individual characters and habits, wonderful colors and different flight patterns. Curiosity may send you to a bird guide and then you’re hooked!

More than fifty-two million Americans feed wild birds or other wildlife around their homes. It’s our second biggest hobby - right after gardening.
