About the Piece:
The "Our Gift" figurine was inspired by the artist’s personal experience when she and her husband brought their first-born child home. Susan Lordi reflects:
“I remember when we brought our first-born home and walked into our house. I had an overwhelming sense of fulfillment — it seemed like our whole house was warm and full of light. When you bring a new baby home, all of a sudden you understand the excitement of being a family — this, now, is your family. It’s the start of something wonderful and new, and that, in and of itself, is a joyful gift.”
