About the Artwork

This Memory Tree Sculpture Is Installed At Shooting Star House Children’s Hospice In Hampton.

The tree was commissioned for the hospice’s memory garden, and will have stars added to it over the coming years which will be engraved with childrens` names who have been so sadly lost.

Silver Oak was hand-forged from steel, which was then galvanized and painted It has over a hundred acorns made from healing crystal spheres added to it’s branches. These allow parents to place their children’s stars next to crystals they feel represent their loved ones, or crystals with qualities that will help with their grieving.

Although this was a one off commission and is already sold, I am happy to take commissions for similar tree sculptures.

Artist Comment

Making the Memory Tree for Shooting Star House was both challenging and very rewarding. As an artist I always want my sculptures to mean something to people - but to create something like this, and know just how much it will mean to the families who use it to hold memories of their loved ones is a very special thing. I am very proud of the tree as a sculpture and thrilled to have been able to make it for the hospice.

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
