About the Piece:
“I sculpted this piece using my parents as models. When I asked them to sit down and get comfortable, they just seemed to fit together so perfectly. It was such a self-directed pose, as though they’ve been doing it for years — and they have! They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in 2011. The carving on the back is a little added discovery … ‘I love thee.’ I like the sound of the word ‘thee.’ It feels poetic and intimate to me."
– Susan Lordi

The couple’s embrace speaks to the strength of a relationship that has withstood the test of time, making it the perfect gift for those celebrating milestone anniversaries, long-lasting relationships, or romantic commitments.

About Willow Tree – Figurative Sculptures That Heal, Comfort, and Inspire
The Willow Tree collection is an intimate series of figurative sculptures designed to express emotions of healing, comfort, protection, and inspiration. Created by Susan Lordi, each piece begins as a hand-carved original crafted in her Kansas City, Missouri studio. The figures are then cast from the original carvings and hand-painted, ensuring that each figurine is a unique expression of artistry and emotion.
Craftsmanship Behind Willow Tree:
-
Hand-Carved Originals: Every Willow Tree figurine begins as a hand-carved sculpture by Susan Lordi, making each piece uniquely personal.
-
Hand-Painted Detailing: After casting, each figurine is individually hand-painted, highlighting the artistry and attention to detail.
-
Expressive Gestures: The figures convey deep emotions through simple gestures—a tilt of the head, the placement of the hands, or the positioning of the body, allowing for personal interpretation.
