Richard Macneil, a self taught artist, formed The Macneil Studio in 2009 with his wife Judi and their sons Daniel and Kyle. Born in Winchester, Macneil started his working life as an artist at Worcester Royal Porcelain and has always worked in the fields of sculpture, ceramics, and illustration, both in the UK and internationally. He spent many years living on the east coast of the USA, then returned to Worcestershire and freelanced as an artist and greeting card designer. Richard spends any spare time he has with his family walking in the beautiful British countryside and fishing.

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.
