Every sculpture begins with the stone. I never know exactly what will emerge until the work is nearly complete.
Unlike conventional wire trees, these sculptures are anchored through an integrated oval wire framework, allowing the roots to be fully revealed and visually balanced with the canopy above. This intentional design reflects the principle of “as above, so below,” honoring the unseen foundations that support growth, beauty, and life.
A hand-embossed copper maker’s mark is affixed to the underside of each sculpture, bearing the artist’s signature “by Th’rine” and its individual number within her lifetime body of work.

I AM A TREE
Cath’rine copyright November, 2024
My roots are deeply woven into Mother Earth,
Anchored in the wisdom of ages.
My crown stretches to Father Sky,
Reaching for the light beyond darkness.
My branches sing to the Four Directions,
A song of strength, of balance, of unity.
I am formed by the Five Elements,
Breath of Wind, spark of Fire, touch of Rain,
nurturing Earth, and the wisdom of Spirit.
My branches offer rest to Jays, Hawks, and Owls,
Shelter to Bees, Squirrels, and all beings
who seek my embrace, shade, or support,
or even a portal to their imaginations.
I hear the morning birdsong.
I dance in the wild winds.
I glitter with hoarfrost, radiant in cold’s embrace.
I bend with the weight of Winter Snow,
Yet rise with the thawing grace of Spring.
Seasons shift, years turn and return,
I stand rooted, bearing witness.
I embrace all who come, wrapped in love and patience,
A keeper of strength, a well of hope.
