I love huge old trees in the winter time. I find them calming, powerful, grounding, wise and steadfast while still full of life and motion ready to burst forth with life as soon as the spring warmth returns.

I wanted to create a metal tree sculpture and try to capture some of those qualities in a sculptural form. My favorite part of this piece was getting the roots to flow into the snow in a lifelike manner.

This Snow-Laden Tree sculpture is wall hanging, made entirely of stainless steel, colored using only heat patinas, and must be kept indoors!
