"Forging a bond that lasts a lifetime"

Size: 5" tall

"This push-pull pose between two brothers may be very familiar to parents of boys; it reflects the relationships that develop in childhood, and endure through adulthood." 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.

Now in its eighth year, Willow Tree® continues to grow, attracting new and familiar customers with expressive art forms that communicate beyond words. Susan Lordi hand carves each original figure. Using family and friends as models, Susan tries to capture a moment in time or express a feeling. “I want to create a pure form that speaks through gesture. Willow Tree isn’t so much about the tangible piece. It represents an emotion, or it marks a memory.”
