Place of My Strength: Tree of Life

36"x44" Copper Foil and Stained Glass 2007

This piece was originally designed for a hospital chapel. This design was inspired by one of my favorite trees on a great trail in Flagstaff called Fat Man's Loop. She is an ancient Alligator Juniper Tree that lives on the top of the trail. There is a perfect rock to sit upon and a long low branch that reaches out for one to lean against and say a prayer or two while resting under her immense canopy.
