From Collectors
Jo Ann, three of your wonderful oil field paintings (signed & numbered prints) now grace the lobby area of Transamerica Minerals Company. Your special talents have captured the most authentic and historic Southern California oil field scenes in living color. Everyone that enters our doors just loves them. My personal favorite is the "Speedway and Oil Wells", portraying the drilling derricks along the streets of Venice, California circa 1961. We now consider these works of art an asset of the company.
All the best to you Jo Ann.

Wowser...congrats on the award! Now you know why I wanted your work. For instance, being a 4th generation Kansan, the Donkey print pulls together for me my heritage, my love of the prairie and my livelihood...all in vibrant colors, particularly depicting a KS sky and our state flower. The Road simply flat out talks to me very personally.
Have fun at the event and take a bow.

Giclée is the most advanced and beautiful form of Fine Art reproduction.
It is the only form of printmaking that can accurately reproduce the subtlety and range of color along with the texture of my work. The Giclée print itself is superior to serigraphy and lithography. No films, plates or screens are used. All the color and detail of the original are captured by a flat-bed scanner. This is transferred to the printer. Ink is then sprayed directly on to the paper or canvas, more than four million droplets per second. The effect is similar to an airbrush technique, but the droplets are over 35 times finer.
The technique is no less demanding of the artist than traditional forms of art reproduction. I spend far more time and effort working with the choice of inks and papers and in proofing than I ever did in conventional four-color lithography. The rewards are, however, much greater.
My Giclée prints are known for their excellence. The printing industry, gallery directors, collectors and museum curators have lavishly praised them. I have worked with a pioneer in Giclée reproduction since 1995 and spare no time or expense in producing the finest quality prints available.
All prints are signed and numbered by the artist. Artist's proofs and printer's proofs are available in custom sizes up to approximately 30" x 40".
