Upon the passing of Sherry Linscott's brother Michael John Looney, the idea of making a
difference through art in a variety of forms was begun.  Both Sherry and her husband Chuck wanted to not only grant Michael's request, of "sharing my art with others", but to also promote the Swedish village of Bishop Hill, Illinois that Michael photographed and drew
so often.

Michael J. Looney's use of the Giclée Method of art creation is best described as follows: A
Giclée is a limited edition fine art print produced with continuous tone ink-jet technology on a variety of media. Giclée (French - to squirt) is an exciting new medium for both artists and photographers because of its unparalleled quality and longevity.

The Giclée process will render an image of exceptional clarity. Giclée prints will exceed your greatest expectations.  With a pallet of over 7 million colors, and a process delivering  up to 4 million droplets of ink per second,prints can be reproduced from transparency,
or directly from the original without compromising detail and color vibrancy.
