Hand-Painted, Stone Resin Mother and Daughter Figurine
Mother and Daughter “Celebrating the bond of love between mothers and daughters,” by Willow Tree®. This hand-painted, stone resin figurine stands 8 inches tall. Figurines are hand painted so unique variations of color may be expected. Mother has dark brown hair and daughter has dark blond hair. A gift of Willow Tree® communicates beyond words. Artist Susan Lordi hand carves each original Willow Tree® sculpture. 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 the absence of facial features signify Willow Tree. It is Susan’s hope that these pieces be meaningful to both giver and receiver.
Susan Lordi’s art reflects our relationships with people and the world around us. Her keen observation of the human form is further inspired by ballet, modern dance, nature, and her personal experiences with family and friends. These influences are revealed in her Willow Tree® sculptures, from which emotion is communicated through gestures only. Besides her work in sculpture, Susan has always loved making art with cloth. She has a Master of Fine Arts in Textile Design, and her fiber art has been exhibited internationally. A monograph of her art textiles has been published in the Portfolio Collection by Telos Art Publishing and she is featured in the book Art Textiles of the World: USA. Susan maintains a studio in Kansas City, Missouri.
