The Tree of Life is a timeless and beautiful symbol often connected to the Winter Solstice and holiday time. Referred to as Yggdrasil in Norse mythology, its meaning helps us explore our past, present, and the growth to come in the New Year. What is your tree growing toward and how are your roots a part of who you uniquely are? Create a uniquely beautiful mixed media work of art featuring what is important to you and develop your artistic vision and technical skills in the process.
