Swinsty Reservoir

Tracey Krupianka – Swinsty Reservoir

I left school with an A level in art and always had a passion for painting. I opened a shop later selling my paintings and painted glassware.
I moved to Australia and had my twin girls which kept me very busy! We moved back to the UK after 8 years and I decided to paint full time.
I also decided to start teaching classes and workshops which I love. I also started doing art demonstrations for art clubs, art events and societies all over the North of England.

At the beginning of the first lockdown, because my career had come to a full stop, I decided to post a painting everyday on social media to cheer people up at this difficult time,
as my paintings are always lively and full of colour.

 I love what I do so much and I hope to have many, many years of painting to come!

What is a Giclée Print? – pronounced ‘zhee-klay’

So, a giclée print is a high quality fine art reproduction. Archival pigment inks are sprayed on to an archival fine art paper or canvas.
Because of this, Jack Duganne coined the term ‘Giclée’, since it’s a French word meaning ‘a spray or a squirt of liquid’. The term ‘giclée print’ is used to describe the giclée printing process. Accordingly, images are created from the high-resolution digital capture of original artwork. Then they are printed using archival quality inks onto archival fine art substrates. Hence, canvas and fine art papers are used to achieve giclée prints with exceptional stability and lightfastness.
