Willow Tree was introduced in January 2000. The line has grown to encompass those sentiments that we most want to express. To our friends, to our family, to our teachers; to those near and dear, to those far away.
Artist Susan Lordi hand carves each original Willow Tree® sculpture, then the copies are cast in resin and hand painted. Softly washed colors, carved and metal accents, and representative icons of nature mark Susan’s work.
“I try to keep the interpretation of Willow Tree open. I hope this makes it more personal, and allows the viewer to decide its meaning.”
The original inspiration for Willow Tree still holds true today: Willow Tree is an intimate, personal line of figurative sculptures representing qualities and sentiments that help us feel close to others, heal wounds, or treasure relationships. Susan Lordi carves each original piece with this thought in mind. Her figures continue to evolve as she identifies emotions so important for us to convey, and renders them in simple, pure gestures. These art forms beautifully express love, closeness, healing, courage, hope… all the emotions of a life well lived.
June hosts a collection of the Willow Tree catalog. If there is a particular angel you are looking for, or are simply adding the most recent figures to your collection, chances are June’s Cottage has it.
