“Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.”- Kahlil Gibran

Trees have served as inspiration to artists for centuries as representations of spiritual concepts, the cycle of existence, shelter, wisdom, strength, growth, family lineage, cross-cultural connection, and more. There are no limits to creative imaginings or materials and media used to create artwork for this themed exhibit.
