Willow Tree® Home

Together, our family is home

“I wanted to capture the time in your life when there’s a lot of excitement, happiness, yet a big unknown. This piece connects the concepts of Home and Family — you are creating your own family—your own home. There’s been a shift in your life cycle. It’s about establishing roots in a way that centers and grounds you as a couple. It can be scary, but also has you in awe. Together, you’re creating a sense of place—building something—permanence and belonging. To each other and to the someone else that you haven’t met yet, but that you already love. I wanted the title to have a hidden layer of discovery ... I like the twist of taking a noun and using it as an adjective to explain a feeling one might have, but can’t always verbally express.” —Susan Lordi

This figure could be an encouraging and supportive reminder to someone beginning a process, a 'journey', perhaps moving toward greater well-being and independence; a new career or location; overcoming illness or personal loss.  It's a reminder to pause and reflect on the moments, both difficult and joyful, along the path toward achieving goals.

A gift to celebrate special accomplishments. To encourage, support and acknowledge individual strength.

Willow Tree® Lavender Grace

May all your senses be filled with healing grace

“A field of lavender never fails to take my breath away. You experience lavender through all your senses – not only its aromatic fragrance, but its pure visual beauty... its form is uplifting, and the color is gorgeous. In any garden, it’s a standout. It even tastes good! Speaking as a gardener, lavender is just good for the soul – and so, it heals. I wanted this piece to be a healing piece. But it also could be seen as a piece about strength. She’s looking up; her stance is strong and uplifted, like lavender. I named her Lavender Grace... perhaps she could remind you of someone who exemplifies a life of beauty and grace.” —Susan Lordi

Willow Tree® Loving My Mother

I'm here for you, as you've always been for me

Willow Tree® Magnolia

A gathering of blessings

Willow Tree® Patience

Love is patient, love is kind

"Patience is about inner reflection, peace and calm. Her coloring is very soft, very quiet. I wanted the viewer to feel the weight of her leaning on her hands. To feel the passage of time—when everything stops—to be in the present. It's a reminder to take a moment to breathe." –Susan Lordi

Willow Tree® Simple Joys

You're simply a joy in my life

“I like to walk in the tangles of my garden and discover little jewels that pop up or volunteer through the weeds. Usually not planned or cultivated, these colorful surprises never fail to make me smile. Like a spur-of-the-moment visit from a good friend who makes me laugh, these spontaneous happenings, however simple, can bring so much joy.” —Susan Lordi

Willow Tree® 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
