She is an incredible artist. She began sculpting after pivoting from a career in opera. She has an incredible voice that sings and also advocates for herself and for others. I have always been impressed with her depth of knowledge and spirituality. She has just finished her life’s work, The Tree of Life Garden at Thanksgiving Point in Utah, an incredible labor of love that contains over 200 unique life-sized sculptures that includes scenes from the dream of the Tree of Life as well as scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. She is also the mother of 4 and grandmother to 20 wonderful grandchildren. I’m excited for you to get to know her better. 💚Be Sendy and Subscribe!
