Represented in green, yellow & blue with ceramics and tile, spring is a nascent fledgling shaking off the char of its birth and beginning to take flight. (better images coming soon)

To honor the one year anniversary of the Marshall fire and those most affected, the raffle will begin silently December 30, 2022 and be live until April, 22, 2023, Earth Day.

Using smoke damaged violins that were salvaged from the destroyed Scherer Violin Shop along with other charred and melted debris found in the burn area, four phoenix birds were created. Each phoenix stands proud with wings open, rising from the (literal) ashes.

The body of each beautiful bird is filled with colors and elements symbolizing one of the four seasons. Taken as a whole, the four Phoenixes represent resilience in harmony, resilience within our community, the continuity throughout our natural world and what we can learn from it..

These art pieces have been lovingly designed and created by local woodworker, Matthew Neidenberg of MountainSide Arts, a Boulder based woodcrafts business and lifelong friend of Will Scherer of Scherer Violins, who’s shop was destroyed in the fire and reopened in downtown Louisville, CO with help from the community.
