J Hovenstine has spent his adult life using his skills as much as possible. He has been the creative director at an award-winning catalog, won some awards for his art and photography, had his work hanging in people's homes across the country, and saved two whales. His greatest achievement in life, although he gives God all the credit, is his family. A great wife, three beautiful daughters, two sons-in-law he considers the sons he never had. Six, soon to be seven, beautiful grandkids who cause him to answer such piercing questions as "Can mice dance?".

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.
