"The Voice of a Beloved Tree"

Picture

Through the Years

Tree Gallery

A very loved sugar maple tree, that grew outside the front door of our
200 year old house needed to be cut down.  My brother and I used to
climb it when we were kids.  John’s and my children and our
grandchildren enjoyed playing in it.

It started to show signs of decay at the base of the trunk.  We were
advised by a good friend and tree surgeon, Joel Benson, that it should
be cut down.

We sent our tree to friends, asking them to create something from the
wood and in return, to send us a nice image of the piece that they had
created.  That way, we could see the wonderful work my tree had become.

My tree ended up being shipped to all corners of the US and is also
represented in Brazil, England, France, Germany, Japan, Australia,
Canada, Denmark and New Zealand.  121+ artists!  I have humorously
thought of it as scattering the ashes of a loved one.  

The post office (and my credit card company) thought I had gone nuts.

I am really enjoying the energy that is being shared.

Let it be known how much I love and appreciate John for sawing and
​packing the wood for each of the boxes.
