Willow Tree by Susan Lordi is not necessarily a likeness; it's a reminder of someone we want to keep close, or a memory that we want to touch. I hope that people recognize subtle expressions or gestures of those they love, and select pieces that are uniquely meaningful for them."

Remembrance Ornament

Memories... hold each one safely in your heart

"This piece is all about memories — how warm, comforting memories help us to heal when we're missing someone. If you look closely at the carved icons on her dress, each recalls a memory by appealing to our senses...touch, scent, taste, sound, sight. We keep these personal memories safe within us, connecting us to those we love." - Artist Susan Lordi
