Trees represent growth and strength, with roots to ground us in our traditions. Birds in flight are symbols of freedom, with the power of dreams and life renewed. Together, Roots + Wings create powerful images of inspiration and tools to heal the soul. These images are a symbolic representation of emotional healing, from devastation through rejuvenation.
The Roots + Wings exhibit was held at the Margaret Hennigar Public Library in February 2018. Each image was paired with verse to represent emotions ranging from devastation through rejuvenation.
"All stunning! Beautiful and moving text to accompany images."
"Very moving, heartfelt, touching, inspiring presentation. Fabulous artwork and compositions. Loved the words with each image."
"Wonderful, from her heart. Could help others to understand or give words to their struggles."
A booklet with the complete images and verse from Roots+Wings is available to view and/or purchase. Click here to view the book.

whisper
your worries
into the wind
and the wings
of a dove
will carry them
away
