I have always been attracted to trees. I love their beauty, texture and uniqueness, and the way they can bend and move in the wind while still appearing strong and rooted. I chose the Tree of Life as a recurring theme in my art because the symbol can carry so many positive meanings: unity, family, community, connection, the circle of life, spirituality, nature, renewal and much more.
Commission a Personal Tree of Life
I create original Tree of Life artwork on a commission basis. You can tell me colors you enjoy and suggest meaningful elements, perhaps a peace symbol, yin yang or another idea, and then I begin creating. Part of what I love about the process is allowing the artwork to develop intuitively through color, shape and experimentation, so every piece becomes its own original work.
Details such as final format, printing and other options can be discussed when you commission a piece. The finished artwork is signed by me and created specifically for you or for the person you choose. If you’d like to ask about commissioning a Tree of Life, contact me at AmeliaCarrie@gmail.com.
For Tree of Life designs available on gifts and other products, you can also explore my Tree of Life Shop.
Here is one where I put a black plastic bag in it and added a plant.
Ideas for a Custom Tree of Life Artwork
If you are thinking about a custom Tree of Life artwork, it can help to start with a few simple questions. Who is it for? What colors do they enjoy? Is there a symbol, a word or an idea that means something to them, such as a heart, a peace sign or a favorite season? You do not need to have everything figured out. A few ideas are enough for me to begin, and then I let the piece take shape as I work.
The tree of life has been drawn, painted and carved for a very long time. It is named in Genesis and Revelation, Norse mythology tells of Yggdrasil, the world tree, and Celtic knotwork trees are still a well-loved design. Because so many people see it as a symbol of family, growth and connection, a commissioned tree can be a meaningful way to mark a wedding, an anniversary, a new home or another family milestone.
