The Alchemist

Local artist Noelle Phaeres

11 x 14 Print

The curved bright pops in this piece are symbolic of the flumes - man-made structures designed to transport water. Here, in the Feather River Canyon of Northern California, water is the great Alchemist. Life springs from it, as does resilience to wildfire. Wildfire presents one of the greatest natural threats to those living in these realms, as evidenced by the Camp Fire that burned Paradise, CA to the ground in late 2018. Paradise was my canyon-laden home, now lost.

The original was painted with acrylic, gouache, watercolor, charcoal, and pencil on linen (pictured in last listing image).

SIZE:

- Paper is larger than the listed size, as there is a ~1.25" white border around the actual image to enable easier matting, or float mounting to display the deckled edges of the paper.
- Image itself is shrunk down ~1/4" from size listed to expose signature line when matted or framed in the corresponding standard sized mat/frame.
