Willow Tree Guardian: Celebrating New Beginnings, Family, and Love

The Guardian: A Willow Tree Figurative Sculpture "Love and protect thee, forever" - the sentiment written on the Enclosure Card that accompanies this Willow Tree piece.

This 6-inch hand-painted resin figure depicts a seated woman in a cream dress, cradling a newborn baby wrapped in a cream blanket. Sculpted by artist Susan Lordi, this piece can serve as a gift to celebrate new beginnings - new babies, new families, and the cherished bonds that develop between parent and child, grandparent and grandchild. It can also be a memorial for those who have lost a child too soon.

Crafted with care, each Willow Tree figure is hand-carved by Susan Lordi in her studio in Kansas City, Missouri, then cast in resin and painted by hand. This particular piece captures a tender moment, a visual representation of the love and protection a parent or grandparent extends to the newest member of the family.

Packaged in a fitted box, ready for gift-giving, the Guardian Willow Tree figure can be displayed on a shelf, table, or mantel, serving as a heartfelt reminder of someone cherished or a memory to be held close. To clean, simply dust with a soft brush or cloth.

Willow Tree is a line of figurative sculptures that aim to communicate through gesture and emotion, marking significant moments and relationships. A gift of Willow Tree speaks beyond words, touching a universal chord and conveying meaningful sentiments.

As the artist herself explains, "The challenge for me is to honestly sculpt what I know to be true and to put my emotions into tangible form. Hopefully, this will touch a universal chord and be meaningful to others."

Whether celebrating a joyous new arrival or honoring a life gone too soon, the Guardian Willow Tree figure is a poignant and thoughtful gift, imbued with the love and protection that endures forever.
