'Child of the world, Into my heart you came - Bringing sun into my life, Making family our name."

Size: 9" tall
"I wanted to do a piece that is influenced by the rich diversity in our culture – with multi-racial families, blended families and adoptive families. My sister Karen wrote the sentiment… it’s actually a love poem to a child." Susan Lordi

Artist Information: 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.
