"I love nature, especially trees that give us oxygen to breath. I walked in the woods on Beaver Island, MI and discovered the trees shedding their bark to grow. I immediately picked some up and felt its preciousness and beauty. My intuition took over and I start collecting the pieces of bark, not knowing what I would do with them. Then one day - 'OMG' - a light bulb went off, 'I can bronze them!' So I started getting them bronzed. I spent days in the bronze foundry putting them together in harmony:  I added the quartz that has been in the depths of our earth for thousands of years to give it the sparkle as the perfect match to celebrate the human form and Mother Nature The stones beneath the earth and the trees trying to reach as high as they can above earth and the human form in between. The perfect connection."
