"Indulgence" Giclée
"Indulgence" Giclée
The original artwork is a 24x24” acrylic and oil painting on a gallery thick, 1.5” birch wood panel.
It began as a blueberry pie my mom purchased "just because" for my boyfriend and me and turned into an impromptu photoshoot when I couldn't help but notice the glossy pie filling, shiny fork and translucence of the berry filling on the utensils.
Now that slice of pie can transcend being a feast of regular limitations and also be a feast for the eyes! So, indulge, I say!
The photo referenced for this painting was curated and captured by the artist, Hannah Kilby.

Fine Art Paper Giclée
The fine art paper print comes borderless and without a frame, the photos featuring frames are simply to help visualize the art. The fine art paper used is archival quality and has a matte finish.
Stretched Canvas Giclée
The canvas print is stretched onto a 1.5" deep wooden frame, the print is mirrored around the edges to mimic how the original painting's scene wraps onto the edge of the panel. The canvas used is archival quality and has a satin finish.
Care Guide
Care Guide
Handle the print as lightly as possible, with oil-free, gloved hands if possible. The oils from our skin can tarnish and discolour the surface of the print.
What is a "giclée"?
What is a "giclée"?
Giclée (pronounced jhee-clay) is the term coined for the latest generation of fine art reproduction. The term means “to spurt” in French and comes from the fact that a giclée printer is basically an inkjet printer taken to the extreme. Giclées are printed with a microscopic sized dot pattern allowing for virtual continuous tone printing. Using 10 different coloured inks we are able to capture a range of colours previously unheard of, resulting in the absolute highest quality print imaginable.
Open vs. Limited Edition
Open vs. Limited Edition
Open Edition:
While of the same excellent quality as a limited edition print, there is no limit to the number of copies that will be made of the original painting when offered as an open edition print. These prints are priced more economically than their higher value counterparts for this reason.
Limited Edition:
These prints are offered as a singular, limited batch, usually of 100. Once the available prints are sold, there will not be more made. Limited edition prints are signed, dated, numbered to show which print out of the batch each is and they come with a certificate of authenticity. Due to the limited nature of these prints, they are valued higher than open edition prints.
Celebrate the vivacity of everyday life
Still-life scenes became a massive interest of mine while I attended the Ottawa School of Art from 2020-2021 for their portfolio certificate program. Surrounded by so many talented peers and challenged by class projects, I was increasingly inspired to push my comfort zone out of landscapes and into something new.
The more I dabbled, starting with sketches, then creating my “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” Series, then moving straight into what would become the Sustenance Series, I was more enamoured with the brilliance of mundane objects. Have you ever tried to count the number of shades in a banana peel? Thought about the play of light across and through the curvature of a cocktail glass? As I thought more abundantly about my regular surroundings, more colours burst forth with shapes full of artistic drama.
Now no meal or domestic scene is safe from me and many a snack or dog walk is interrupted by an impromptu photo shoot for reference photo material.
