Willow Tree You’re The Best

This 5.5 inches hand-painted resin figure with wire wings holding an apple in its hands comes in a branded box featuring the sentiment “Thank you for making a difference”.”This piece is all about the apple. I wanted it to symbolize many things … to stand out, be large, delicious, shiny. Obviously, it’s a symbol for teacher appreciation — but the apple is also just a beautiful fruit! A metaphor for good health, for wisdom, for someone chosen for something big … for a special person who always gives the best of her or himself, and makes a difference in the lives of others. I like that this piece is so open — I’ll be interested to read how others interpret it.” —Susan Lordi
