MotherDaughter Laughter with love... always "When I think back to when my daughter was growing up, what I remember most are the times we laughed together. We share the same memories, the little funny things that, at times, only we think are funny… Humor plays a big part in a relationship. When you laugh together, it strengthens your connection to each other. Even today, my favorite part about being a parent is laughing with my children… pure and simple, we always have so much fun. Just being together… doing ordinary stuff.” —Susan Lordi A gift to celebrate the loving relationships that develop between parent and child, grandparent and child… DETAILS .6”h hand-painted resin figure .Figure of adult woman in cream dress seated on a gray rock, with young girl in cream dress sitting on her lap .Packaging box includes enclosure card for gift-giving .Dust with soft cloth or soft brush. 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.
