John Van Straalen discovered early in life that he had a natural gift for art. In 1975, John took a trip to Holland where he received a traditional European education in the arts, a sharing of knowledge by the older artists to their teen-age apprentices. In 1979, John returned to California and started a career as an illustrator. Today, John lives in Northern California with his wife and three children.
Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
