The Alchemist's Map [slide 1], violin, various hardware, wood, and other media, dimensions vary. This piece was created for the Denver Young Artist's Orchestra annual fundraiser, The Painted Violin. Each year artists are selected and given a retired violin to convert into an artwork that is donated with proceeds going to the organization.
