What
are Giclées?
Giclée (pronounced ZHEE-clay) means“spray
of ink.” The original painting is scanned into a computer with
a high-resolution digital scanner. Color manipulations are made so the
scanned image will be an exact color match to the original. The image
is then sent to a state-of-the-art Roland printer The fade-resistant, ultraviolet inks
are rated to last from fading over 125 years!
The images on this site are from the original scans used to print her artwork and are very representative of color and detail. These Giclées represent Jo's work better than any other medium. They are limited editions, hand-signed and numbered, and will last for generations to enjoy.
Wild Mountain Watercolor Giclées
are printed by Sharpe
Images. (Opens in a new window.)

What is a deckled edge?
The edges of the printed on watercolor paper are not
cut, but hand torn. Click to see example. Some
of the watercolors are printed all the way to the deckled edge and
are suitable for "floating" in a frame. Click
to see example.
What materials are used for the Giclées?

What is an Open Edition Lithograph?

How can I place an order?
At this time we do not have online ordering, but we hope
to soon! Please vist the Ordering page for
more information.
What are my framing options?
We carry many framed pieces in Jo's gallery at Ridge
Runner Naturals in Waynesville.
Unfortunately there is no way to illustrate all of them on this
site. In addition, because of the variation in monitors, it is impossible to
match colors exactly. We suggest that if matte and frame color are critical,
taking your print to a local frame shop will give you the best results. If you
are close enough to Waynesville to visit Jo's gallery, we offer a wide range
of framing options, including genuine barnwood molding. We will be happy to
email photos and prices of framed prints that we have in stock, but can't guarantee
the accuracy of the colors.
