Phoenix Rising - ORIGINAL
"27"W x35"H
Medium: Acrylic on canvas - Not framed
A favorite story and topic for the Artist. The Phoenix comes from the Ancient Greek story. The phoenix is a long-lived bird that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again from the ashes to ignite it's radiant energy in life.
During a difficult time of life, the Artist remembers she took home a large blank canvas from her brothers as a challenge to make it look “good as new." Inspired by the difficult emotions the Artist was experiencing, the Artist found courage in the symbolic story of the phoenix, and discovered a gift of artistic expression. This painting depicts an evolutionary experience as the Artist unveiled her “own style.” The Artist wanted to share her experience as she painted, recalling feeling as though her reality was leaving nothing but fragments, and ashes of what she knew of herself and life. In this process alchemy was born, and a new adventure unfolded as she embraced the infinite cycle of creation through artistic expression. (The original painting glows in blacklight.)
