"Everyone knows somebody that lights up a room when she or he walks in. You’re always happy to see that person - it’s somebody who captures the essence of life - who’s fun to be around - who brings energy and light. Like when the sun comes out! When I’m outside on a cloudy day and feel the sun on my skin, it makes me want to turn my face up to embrace it - just like a sunflower. My sister Karen who helps me on Willow Tree was the inspiration for this piece; she raises my spirits. This piece is for those people who enrich your life every day." - Susan Lordi
