About the Item

Treasured Gift - a single feather, original drawing created with gouache and pastel on handmade paper by Susan Manchester. 21 1/2 x 16 1/2 inches. Professionally framed in white maple wood with outer dimension of 25 x 19 3/4 inches. A lovely meditative, serene work of art to contemplate over a lifetime. Susan Manchester’s drawings of feathers and flora are meditations on the ephemeral nature of life, and they reflect the artist’s fascination with beauty in all its strangeness. Manchester has dedicated herself to the close observation of natural phenomenon, and her works on paper help to direct our attention to a contemplative place while living in our high-speed world. Manchester’s strong affinity with Renaissance drawing and her love of printmaking borne from classical Italian art studies, combined with the drawing skills that she has refined over decades, are in full display in these meticulously detailed graphite, silverpoint, and Conté crayon works. From Andra Norris Gallery in California.
