Though this piece is perfect as a holiday gift, its symbolism extends to everyday expressions.

A tree can be a metaphor for strength, beauty and peace – qualities we all aspire to. The prayer is one of hope and healing; about living in the moment. The title is as much a prayer as the sentiment. A Tree, A Prayer is very open, as the tree can be a symbol of anything that is centering and inspirational. Trees are grounding – a connection to that which sustains us. It could also reference the Tree of Life.

May you find strength, beauty and peace each day.

Each original Willow Tree® sculpture is hand carved by artist Susan Lordi. Using family and friends as models, Susan’s goal is to capture a moment in time or express an intimate feeling. Pieces are cast from her original carvings and individually painted by hand. Softly washed colors, carved and metal accents, and representative icons of nature add depth and sentimentality to this beloved line.
