The Giclee process is a highly evolved digitally manipulated printing process, outputted from an Iris printer with eco-friendly vegetable based inks on 100% rag paper. Each image requires 1 hour to print due to the mist of inks layered to build the finest of gradations from white to black.

Maureen Enns chose the drawing "Chico Watching Charlie" to reproduce as a Giclee print in 2001 to commemorate the "Year of the Great Bear" in the Canadian Rockies. Maureen and her partner Charlie Russell are well known on international television for their film, "Walking With Giants", a story about co-existence, filmed in the Russian Far East in Kamchatka.  Since that point, she has produced a number of giclee prints from original charcoal drawings (the drawings are to be donated to a public collection).

 

"...if we look carefully...we may also see a challenge in their eyes and in the way they present themselves to the viewer. Perhaps they are offering us an opportunity to re-establish our mystic covenant with the animal world."

Elizabeth Brown. Beauty Pageant, paintings by Maureen Enns.  Banff, AB.: Peter Whyte Gallery, 1985
