Original Listing Description

A quiet moment, when the pace slows and the present comes into focus, is when small wonders, such as the opening of butterfly wings, are revealed. I find energy in observing the rhythms of nature—the welcome happenings that reliably come with the cyclical change of the seasons… In these quiet wonders, I find comfort and hope.” –Susan LordiThis figure can be a little reminder to yourself, or someone close to you, of revelations and discoveries found in quiet moments when we are still and present. Perhaps a best wishes gift to a graduate about to start a new venture… or a hopeful piec e for one facing a major decision.

Avoid water or cleaning solvents OUR STORY Willow Tree sculptural art forms beautifully express love, closeness, healing, courage, hope… all the emotions of a life well lived. Artist Susan Lordi hand carves the original of each figure from her studio in Kansas City Missouri. Pieces are cast from her original carvings, and individually painted by hand. Expression is revealed through gestures only… a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. The simplicity of form and absence of facial features signify Willow Tree. It is Susan’s hope that these pieces be meaningful to both giver and receiver.THE ARTIST Susan LordiSusan Lordi's artistic process is rather intuitive; she "sketches" in clay as she conceives, sculpts and carves each piece, always with a focus on gesture that speaks to the universal. By stripping down the essence of emotion to pure form, she opens the interpretation of each piece to the giver and the receiver. This one-of-a-kind approach to product creation makes her pieces truly individual... her hand, and her unique perspective, is evident in each sculpture. (Condition: Brand New)
