My name is Alyssa Burge. I’m an elementary school teacher, farmer, mother, and artist living in Scotts Mills, Oregon. I’ve been painting since I was very young, and especially gravitate toward painting BIG things – furniture, walls, buildings, shipping containers, barns, and vehicles. The name Technicolor Orchard came about in late Spring when the whole world is glowing and shiny and alive and moving, almost growing while you watch it here in Western Oregon, and a friend and I were moving some firewood out of the orchard here at the farm from a big Walnut limb that came down in a recent storm, and everything was radiant, alive, full of growth and health and color and movement, blowing in the wind, dripping wet, shining in the sun, completely saturated in shades of green. I think of that time often.
