Willow Tree by Susan Lordi Artist Susan Lordi hand carves each original Willow Tree® sculpture. Using family and friends as models, Susan tries to capture a moment in time, or express a feeling. Pieces are cast from her original carving, and then individually painted by hand. Softly washed colors, carved and metal accents, and representative icons of nature mark Susan's work.
The sculptures are rendered so as to suggest elegance, simplicity, peace and serenity. Forms reveal their expressions through body gestures only... a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. Emotions are left to the viewer to discern, which makes them personal and powerful. Willow Tree is an understated line that speaks in a compelling way. For more about Susan Lordi click here.
Mama Says . . . by Kathryn Andrews Fincher Kathy Andrews Fincher considers herself a storytelling artist. Her paintings tell the stories of childhood and celebrate the blessings of motherhood. "Just as one stroke of color at a time creates a painting," she says, "a mother's gentle guidance molds a child one step at a time." Mama Says™ by DEMDACO, Inc., is based on Kathy's successful paintings and inspirational books. Behind the Mama Says™ messages are the countless mamas, grandmamas, aunts and other women who shape little lives every day. For more about Kathryn Fincher click here.
The enormous popularity of award-winning artist JimShore
is the result of a lifetime of dedication, inspiration and plain old hard work.
And as with most successful people, some good fortune has played a part as
well. As Jim puts it, “Not only do I get to do what I love, I get to share it
with people around the world. I’ve been given a tremendous gift and I thank God
for it every day.” The magic of Jim’s design style is that it can be
applied to a huge variety of themes and formats, creating a charming and
innovative American country décor statement for the home. “My work is not a
single statement, but a lot of elements mixed together. Put together it’s a
pleasure to look at. It doesn’t really matter what item it’s on. It’s just fun
to look at—American Folk-Art.” Jim is
most famous for his classic Santa Clause figures, Angels, and the Disney Traditions
collection.
