Journey

Appreciating where you are… each step along the way

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. Could celebrate supportive friendships among women or congratulate a graduate on her way!

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.

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.
