About Prints
The limited edition giclée (zhee-clay) prints of Ruth Koch’s original watercolors are created in close collaboration with Electric Works (formerly Trillium Press), the oldest fine art workshop in the San Francisco Bay Area. Electric Works uses the most contemporary tools available, applying the same kind of hands-on craftsmanship and artistry that traditional printmakers have drawn on for generations. At each step in the process, the artist works closely with the printmaker on color balance, tone and intensity to recreate the luminosity, spirit and intent of the original painting.

A state-of-the-art digital technology, giclée printing is widely used for creating small limited editions of fine art prints. The resulting prints are lush and velvety, having the look and feel of original watercolors on paper. Both the inks and paper are archival, meaning that the paper is 100% acid-free cotton rag and the inks will retain their vibrant color under normal indoor lighting.  These prints stand on their own as fine works of art, available at a fraction of the price of an original.

·        Each print is signed and numbered by the artist.
