What is AlChemy?
It's rather sweet how we came up with the name of our business.
Once upon a time, a man named Al met a woman nicknamed Cammy. They lived in different towns and corresponded via email and phone calls. They were friends who liked talking about their artwork, creating, listening to their inner muses, angels, and cool stuff like that.
Then one day, they did meet. And one thing led to another, and they started living happily ever after.
Mr. Al first noticed how when their names were put together, AlCammy resulted, and it was so close to the word "alchemy." What a perfect descriptive of the life they were creating together.
To connect it directly to the ancient branch of natural philosophy, it was decided Cammy would be 'Chemy' and she thought that was magical, amazing, and pretty darn cool.
The name stuck.
Al
Al doesn't fit into a neat little package.
With a basis in commercial art, specific disciplines designed to deliver a message, he established his early career as a graphic designer.
Never to be stagnant, the creative muse that drives him continues
to evolve.
But, that's just one result of Al's imagination. Another fascination is the shaping of wood, and how its warmth and honesty can project a feeling. Woodcarving is a specialty.
Cammy
For as long as Bryn (Cammy) can remember... she's been an artist.
She is primarily an oil painter but also enjoys playing with pastels, acrylics, and occasionally watercolor. Most of the original artwork offered on this site is painted with acrylics on paper.
She paints to learn, to appreciate, and to celebrate life. It gives her joy, and she loves to share that joy.
ACRS has allowed us to offer Bryn's original paintings as high quality giclée prints in either 11'x14' or 8'x10, with a half-inch border to allow for matting and framing of your choice.
