Of the Signature Collection “Starry Night Nativity”, Willow Tree® artist Susan Lordi shares, “I wanted to portray the traditional narrative in a new way; tell a story and engage the viewer in a small space. I was also thinking of a piece that could be displayed year-round, with doors open or closed.”

“Parts of the piece are more symbolic than literal. The outside doors reflect nature and the cycles of life — regeneration, renewal, rebirth. These themes influence everything I make.”

“I love the idea of anticipation; a reveal. I wanted Starry Night Nativity to have that element of surprise. I embellished the surface with sparkly gold dots… My use of gradated blues and rich gold connotes preciousness and enduring value.”

“I hope this will be seen as a special gift — kept for a long time, or possibly handed down within families.”
