In the spring of 2024, a dear friend asked me to create a crystal tree just for her. With a lifelong love of trees, I dove in passionately—perhaps a bit obsessively!—searching for the perfect stones and refining my wire-sculpting techniques to honor the beauty and spirit of trees. I especially enjoy anchoring their roots to distinctive stones.
Each sculpture is an evolving exploration, inspired by Nature and by fellow artisans from around the world.
Watch for new works in the fall of 2025!

I Am A Tree
Cath’rine copyright November, 2024
My roots are deeply woven into Mother Earth,
Anchored in the wisdom of ages.
My crown stretches to Father Sky,
Reaching for the light beyond darkness.
My branches sing to the Four Directions,
A song of strength, of balance, of unity.
I am formed by the Four Elements,
Breath of wind, spark of fire, touch of rain, and
the enduring Earth.
I bend with the weight of Winter Snow,
Yet rise with the thawing grace of Spring.
I drink from the gift of Rain and Snow,
Finding life even in the storms.
My branches offer rest to Jays, Hawks, and Owls,
Shelter to Bees, Squirrels, and all beings
Who seek my embrace,
Who lean against my ancient, steadfast trunk.
I hear the morning birdsong.
I dance in the wild winds.
I glitter with hoarfrost, radiant in cold’s embrace.
Seasons shift, years turn and return,
And I stand rooted, bearing witness.
I embrace all who come, wrapped in love and patience,
A keeper of strength, a well of hope.
