A Stabilized Kennicott mill building

“Kennicott;stabilized” original acrylic on Sintra painting by Gail Niebrugge, original sold, limited edition prints available.

It is with great pleasure that I lived to paint the stabilized version of the historic Kennicott Copper Mill and offer it in a limited edition print for my collectors world-wide. After three decades of watching, waiting, documenting the decline and collapse of roofs, walls, and foundations of this national treasure, slowly, carefully, with great attention to detail the major buildings are stabilized. Fantastic! Congratulations to all of the dedicated members of Friends of Kennicott, the State of Alaska, and the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. I am so proud of the work done to save this place, and am anxious to see the next chapter of the future unfold. I am truly blessed to be able to experience and document this part of contemporary history in my drawings, paintings, journals, and photos.

More tomorrow,

Gail Niebrugge, Kennicott artist
