This painting is part of a Diptych but can be sold separately. In launching the American Bones Project, the rollercoaster became an icon and souvenir for the art project. I chose the rollercoaster because it is a shared American experience transcending politics, religion, age or class. As a metaphor and icon, the rollercoaster's form is part of the vernacular of the American identity. The first stencil was created from my own photograph of the Giant Dipper rollercoaster on the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. The image was processed digitally into a vector graphic to be laser cut in cardboard, chipboard, colored acrylic and etched onto plastic. The red-colored acrylic cutout of the rollercoaster became the logo of American Bones. The work evolved into creating street art, prints, etchings, paintings and installations of this iconic coaster. The paintings "Santa Cruz's Giant Dipper, Rollercoaster #13 and Santa Cruz's Giant Dipper Rollercoaster #14 were my first paintings using stencils for the rollercoaster. It all rolled out from there...

Zannah Noe is a contemporary mixed-media artist who draws inspiration from architecture and abstraction to depict the anatomy of place. Her creative journey begins with photography, transforming images through multiple processes, including image transfers, stencils, and silkscreen techniques. She masterfully blends representation with abstract expressionism, infusing her oil and acrylic works with photography and mark-making elements. Her work is characterized by lush, vibrant colors that create a dynamic abstract foundation, often enhanced by translucent image transfers. Noe's artwork delves into social injustices related to housing, urban planning, and cultural identities. Drawing from her extensive digital archive of road trips across America and her background in graphic design and photography, she explores the American vernacular and its iconography. Formally trained under renowned photographer Carrie Mae Weems at Hampshire College, Noe also studied multimedia design at San Francisco City College and refined her painting skills with master painter Doug Schneider in San Francisco. Noe's work boldly and chaotically reflects the complexity of place, weaving together design, photography, and politics. Her pieces, with their multilayered metaphors, vibrant colors, and striking abstractions, serve as a testament to the beauty and purpose found in the creative process.
