Caroline Young is an internationally acclaimed artist known for her intricate and beautiful interpretations of female historical characters from Asian history, legend, and folklore. Born in Hong Kong and raised by Chinese-American ex-patriots, she developed a deep appreciation for Chinese culture and mythology12. Her work often incorporates elements of mysticism, Buddhist and Taoist beliefs, and historical narratives. She uses a labor-intensive technique called “gongbi,” which involves applying multiple light washes of color to build up the intensity on Japanese silk2. This method allows her to create detailed and vibrant pieces that resonate with both historical significance and artistic beauty. Giclee printing (pronounced zhee-clay) is a method of printing to create high quality prints. Originating from the French term, “la giclée,” it means, “that which is sprayed or squirted.” Giclee printing began in the 1980s, when high-resolution digital scans were used in conjunction with archival quality inks. In 1991, printmaker Jack Duganne coined the term for fine digital prints that are made on inkjet printers. Giclee printing is a type of inkjet printing, but not all inkjet prints are giclee prints. The intention of giclee printing is to produce a product at a higher quality and with a longer lifespan than a standard desktop inkjet printer.
