Thanks Rod!
Yes, I guess I am talking about the juried shows. My first show was not as
particular about the work you presented, but I'd like to start applying to the
others and I want to be prepared when I do.
I understand about the usage of giclee (I usually begin to describe my work
simply as "a photograph printed on canvas..."), but I have had people at the
fair use the word to describe my work, so I feel it is part of the art world's
lexicon, whether we like it or not.
Thanks, again and good luck on your shows!
