For hundreds of years, posters have been displayed in public places all over the world. They have been designed to attract the attention of passers-by, making viewers aware of political viewpoints, specific events or to advertise a specific product or service. The poster industry began to attract aspiring painters who added brighter colors and contrast to posters which turned them into pieces of art in people's homes.

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.
