Sunshine Friendship brings the sun... and flowers bloom! "Everyone knows somebody that lights up a room when she or he walks in. You?re always happy to see that person ? it?s somebody who captures the essence of life ? who?s fun to be around ? who brings energy and light. Like when the sun comes out! When I?m outside on a cloudy day and feel the sun on my skin, it makes me want to turn my face up to embrace it ? just like a sunflower. My sister Karen who helps me on Willow Tree was the inspiration for this piece; she raises my spirits. This piece is for those people who enrich your life every day.? ?Susan Lordi A gift to celebrate friendships, or for those who love flowers!

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. ARTIST Susan Lordi Susan 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.
