About this artwork
This figure emerged during an artist residency in the forested interior of British Columbia, where immersion in cedar, silence, and shifting light made the presence of a tree spirit feel encountered rather than imagined.
Tree spirits appear across Germanic, Celtic, Indian, and Greco-Roman traditions as guardians of forests, embodiments of fertility and wisdom, and ancestral beings linking earth and sky. Before industrialization, many cultures revered… trees as living presences. Today, science echoes that reverence, revealing trees as essential to climate balance and human survival.
Tree Spirit invites us to see trees not as resources, but as vital beings worthy of awe and protection.

She combines traditional and nontraditional media and juxtaposes disparate artistic and historical references in the service of richly layered narratives.
