Ridge Runner Naturals - Studio & Gallery

Ridge Runner Naturals - Studio & Gallery Waynesville Artists Ed & Jo Ridge Kelley They are still creating new and inspired works of art and photography.

For 22 years a fixture on Main Street in Downtown Waynesville, NC, Ridge Runner Naturals evolution from screen printing to nature store to art gallery came to a close at the beginning of 2012. Lamented by many, the closing of the retail gallery meant Jo and Ed could better pursue their art from their home studio.

UPDATE!!! Jo and Ed are slowly settling into their home studio. It has been a lot of work and time-consuming! Jo has been painting daily for the last few days and will be posting new paintings soon.

Folks are still being surprised when they come to Waynesville to find a vacant building where Ridge Runner Naturals was. We still have the same phone numbers 828-456-3003 or 800-525-3009 and will be happy to meet up in town to discuss any of your art needs! Remember, Jo & Ed will still be selling their work around town, at Frog Level Brewing Company, Jewelers Workbench, Burr Studio, Gateway Club.

Thanks again for all the support over the years!

Well folks, Jo and Ed are finally out of the gallery at 33 North Main Street. Once again, we appreciate all that Waynesville has meant to us, from the hard work of the Downtown Waynesville Assoc., to the many customers and particularly those who have become our good friends. Waynesville is a fine place to live, work, & visit.

Remember, Jo & Ed will still be selling their work around town, at Frog Level Brewing Company, Jewelers Workbench, Burr Studio, Gateway Club.

During all the cleaning out around here, I came across this cute photograph of our daughter, Keri Anna and her new husband, Reuben. They have been so incredibly helpful throughout this process. How blessed we are to have them as "our kids."
As we get closer to the end of January and the closing of Ridge Runner Naturals Studio & Gallery on Main St. in downtown Waynesville, we have had so many friends and family offering to help us with the move. Many folks have also hurried in to make that one last purchase in the gallery. Eleven original oil paintings and a couple watercolors have sold since Christmas. Many, many photographs, especially the famous Snowy Downtown Waynesville scene that Ed captured with the gorgeous Christmas lighting, have found new homes, not to mention the fabulous "Wave" photograph he took on the NC coast in October. Keri Anna's jewelry continued to be the perfect gift for many customers seeking that one of a kind piece. (She has a rep that covers the Southeast and he will have her new creative jewelry in silver and copper, available at Twigs and Leaves Gallery as well as many other locations through the south.)

We are so thankful for all of you! We will miss seeing You on a daily basis, but feel sure we'll run into you around town, perhaps during a live music event, art walk or community service project. If you get an opportunity to stop before the 31st, we'd love to see you. We still have many wonderful studio items for sale, Hickory furniture, an amazing Knabe Piano, drawing table, computer desks, work tables, etc. [email protected] [email protected]

Current work will now be on exhibit at Frog Level Brewing Co. and The Gateway Club in Waynesville. A new exhibit of WaterDance paintings will open Valentine's Weekend at The Jeweler's Workbench downtown Waynesville! Prints and cards may be purchased at Burr Studio, Village Framer and Gatekeepers.

Although we are closing our retail gallery sometime in January, we are still open for business each day until Christmas. We have lots of photographs, prints, giclees still in stock, many at reduced prices. Our hours may vary slightly, but we are generally open by 11am and will be open late a few evenings this week. If you are making a special trip to visit the gallery, please call to confirm that we are open or make an appointment. Also, remember that most of our work is now at Frog Level Brewing and The Gateway Club. We will be happy to meet you at either of those locations to discuss your art needs. Thanks to all of our customers for 22 years of support in Downtown Waynesville!

Even though we are closing the gallery around the end of the year, Jo is still painting as often as possible. She has turned out small masterpieces in the last couple of weeks, some going to galleries. Here is Jo's latest painting, completed today! "Winter Quiet" 12x12 oil on board

I love the way she has built up the snow with lots of pigment. It looks almost 3D! It's real nice, wouldn't you say?
