Description
Phoenix Torch embodies the spirit of renewal — a flame rising from desert roots, alive with fire and light. Sculpted from naturally weathered wood, its upward form suggests a torch or winged phoenix breaking free. Rich layers of molten crimson, deep bronze, and glowing sapphire ignite the surface, with a shimmering core of blue light radiating from within.
This one-of-a-kind piece captures the eternal cycle of rebirth: destruction through fire, renewal through glow, and the triumph of spirit rising stronger than before.

Art & Soul by Sonya: Crafting Stories from the Desert
Sonya, the creative force behind Art & Soul, breathes life into the arid landscape of the Arizona desert. Her unique art pieces emerge from the sun-baked wood, cactus bones, and barbed wire she discovers in this rugged terrain. Each creation tells a vivid story, capturing the essence of the desert's vibrancy and resilience.
Materials and Inspiration:
● Wood: Sonya's canvas is the weathered wood, seasoned by relentless sun and wind. Its natural texture becomes the backdrop for her artistic expression.
● Cactus Bones: The skeletal remains of cacti find new purpose in Sonya's hands. Their curves and contours evoke the desert's history, resilience, and secrets.
● Barbed Wire: Symbolizing both protection and confinement, barbed wire weaves through her art, adding depth and metaphorical layers.
Colorful Narratives:
Sonya's palette bursts forth with bold hues—turquoise skies, fiery sunsets, and earthy ochres. Each stroke of color weaves a tale: the saguaro's stoic watch, the mesquite's whispered secrets, and the yucca's defiance against the elements.
Art & Soul:
Art & Soul by Sonya invites viewers to explore the desert's soul—the hidden stories etched into its landscape. Sonya's pieces resonate with authenticity, inviting us to connect with the land and its untamed spirit.
