Quiet Strength
Always there for me

Communicating friendship and a love of pets, this carved bas-relief hand-painted plaque can hang on a wall or be displayed on Plaque Stand (sold separately). “Quiet Strength represents the powerful relationship that a girl can develop with her horse. A horse is strength and freedom — a strong and calming presence. Our horse Diamond was an important part of our family for so many years. The time spent with him, for each of us, took us beyond ourselves and let us enjoy just being happy in the present.” –Susan Lordi
An expression of friendship and love of horses. Great on a child's bedroom wall or as a gift for an animal-lover. Create a wall display with several other plaques of similar size and expression such as with Hug, True, and Comfort.

OUR STORY

Willow Tree sculptural art forms beautifully express love, closeness, healing, courage, hope… all the emotions of a life well lived. Artist Susan Lordi hand carves the original of each figure from her studio in Kansas City Missouri. Pieces are cast from her original carvings, and individually painted by hand. 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 absence of facial features signify Willow Tree. It is Susan’s hope that these pieces be meaningful to both giver and receiver.

ARTIST

Susan Lordi
Susan Lordi's artistic process is rather intuitive; she "sketches" in clay as she conceives, sculpts and carves each piece, always with a focus on gesture that speaks to the universal. By stripping down the essence of emotion to pure form, she opens the interpretation of each piece to the giver and the receiver. This one-of-a-kind approach to product creation makes her pieces truly individual... her hand, and her unique perspective, is evident in each sculpture.
