Framed Fine Art Print.
I created the original mixed media collage of this print using paper birch tree bark, cattlemarkers and watercolors. Hidden among the branches of the tree are a few small robins and tiny chickadees. The inception of this small tree sketch dates back to February 2018, a month that has always carried a weight of sorrow for me. It was during this month, only two years earlier that I lost my mother, and mere days before, a dear friend departed. Alongside these losses, I grappled with my own health challenges. It became a period of introspection, a time where my roots sought to anchor themselves deeply. Within a few short months, during Easter weekend, my physical pain became unbearable, leading to my hospitalization. Without delving into specifics, I was informed the following day that had I remained at home, I might not have survived.
From my hospital bed, I gained a newfound perspective of Easter. Viewing it as yet another brush with mortality, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Someone was watching over me.
