15”W x 13”D x 22”H Non tarnish copper, amber, brass, gold, peridot, and antique brass - with a touch of tarnish-able brass wire. Mounted on driftwood I was watching a Japanese Bonsai Master, on You Tube, sculpt magnificent old maple trees. He spoke of the mountain maples and their fall color and explained the name used for both is Yama Momiji. His work in that class was my inspiration for this wonderful tree. Yama Momiji is a magnificent specimen with a major impact. Fall colors of peridot green, amber, copper, yellow and brown are all displayed in her canopy which contrast strikingly against her dark antique brass trunk and branches. Mounted on a uniquely shaped piece of mopani wood this tree brings thoughts of the crisp air and brilliant colors of fall in the mountains. This stately piece has a sizeable presence for any collector. This sturdy piece displays well anywhere. You can learn more about the making of this tree on my website blog. A turntable video is available on my website.

I have studied the art of bonsai for over to ten years. My wire bonsais developed as an offshoot from searching the internet for bonsai wire for some new saplings. My love affair with trees began at an early age. I spent a great deal of my childhood in Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park. It was only natural that, as an adult, I gravitated to the art of Bonsai. I now live in South Carolina, surrounded by beautiful southern trees, and I have discovered the sheer joy of sculpting trees from wire. From those first simple wire trees to my current work, I have grown in love and skill of this art form. I am self-taught, and this schooling will last my lifetime. In the beginning, three local galleries carried my work, today I sell mainly by direct commission and through the internet. My trees are now in homes from coast to coast, north to south in the US. As of 2016, they have spread to Canada --proof that the language of trees is international. Video of each tree are posted on my website:
