New for 2011, Sunshine Angel from Willow Tree. Resin. 5.5" high. Gift boxed. Susan Lordi says Everyone knows somebody that lights up a room when they walk in...someone who captures the essence of life...who is fun to be around...who brings energy and light. You're always happy to see that person- it's like when the sun comes out...This piece is for those people who enrich your life everyday. Since 2000, Susan Lordi has been creating these figurative sculptures that speak in quiet ways of deep emotion and inspiration. Artist Susan Lordi carves each original sculpture, then pieces are cast from her original carving in resin and individually painted by hand. Expression is conveyed by gestures only - a tilt of the head, a turn of the body, or placement of the hands. The simplicity of form and the absence of facial features signify Willow Tree. Emotions are left to the viewer to interpret, which makes them powerful and personal. It is Susan Lordi's hope that these pieces be meaningful to both the giver and the receiver.
