Wili Wili

A tree found in the dryland forests, Wili Wili was valued because of its porous and buoyant wood. The wood was used for surfboards and traditional canoe outriggers. The Wili Wili lei is made from the glossy yellow or orange seeds. This tree is hardy, adapted to survive in the dryland forest ecosystem. Wili Wili is now highly endangered as a result of the decline of the dryland forest beginning with Sandalwood harvesting, the introduction of cattle, sheep and goats, and more recently the impact of gall wasp infestations. Reforestation efforts by organizations like the Waikoloa Dry Forest Initiative may be the last hope for the survival of this tree.

Description

Giclees are digital prints reproduced from original art. My original art is photographed by a professional art photographer who captures the subtle details that make my woodcut prints special, like textured wood grain and color gradations. The highest quality archival pigments and paper are used in the printing process, and your print should last for more than a lifetime when cared for properly.

Details:

Each print is signed personally by me and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Custom printed per order on a beautiful, heavy weight off-white archival paper.

Giclee prints come with a 1 ½ inch margin, which adds 3 inches to each dimension.

Print size may vary by 1/2” to accommodate scaling in size.

Each print is rolled into a sturdy tube for safe shipping. USPS Priority shipping, unless otherwise requested.

Shipping costs a flat fee of $20 for up to 4 prints in the same package. Allow up to 3 weeks for the production of your custom print and 5 days for shipping.

UV plexiglass is recommended for framing your print.

Print Editions and my Take on Reproductions

Because printmakers produce an edition of original prints that are numbered, in the past, most artists who work in this medium have not offered giclees. However, with the rise of digital art I am committed to offering reproductions because I want to make a sustainable living through my art. Also, many more people can enjoy beautiful art in their homes because these reproductions are more affordable. For both of those reasons it makes me very happy to let go of this ancient tradition!  I still honor the tradition by offering  an image as a giclee print only after all of the original prints in that edition are sold out in my studio collection
