In the past, Fonner has worked with etching, monotype, watercolor monotype and other printing mediums.  This curiosity has led Jill to become involved in the new digital printing industry; most recently she has been involved in gicl’ee printing for the fine art print trade.  Currently many of her paintings are available as archival gicl’ee prints.  Using museum quality papers and archival inks, Jill publishes most of her own images using a professional wide-format printer.  More images of Jill’s work can be viewed at:  www.fonner.com
