Tree of Life

“Inspired by the uplifting concept that the TREE OF LIFE symbolizes, that which brings joy, wisdom and healing to the people, I created this series of tapestries. In my works they represent love, as in Songs, the dramatic Laws of War, as in Deuteronomy, and prosperity as in Psalms.”

 

The special status accorded to the tree in the Bible is easily understood by anyone who has visited the Holy Land.  The landscape is arid and every tree is cherished as a symbol of life and health, hope and success against all odds.  Trees are mentioned eight times in the Creation story as images of nature and abundance.  The tree represents God’s provision to us – by giving us trees God provides for the people and animals of the land.
