TREE STORIES
Project Director Andres Montiel
Project Category Painting
Region Hartford
Description This project is an homage to trees, ancient creatures that live among us. Many are found in the middle of busy neighborhoods, stoic figures we barely notice on our way to work. Here, they are portrayed in all their dignity and given the respect they deserve as they teach us to be humble and patient with each other. The goal is to raise awareness of the importance of preserving and protecting our historical trees and our environment. Trough a series of expressive workshops, this way of looking and honoring was shared with people of all ages but specially youth. By introducing these notable trees to them, awareness was raised of the vital role they play in providing clean air and enriching our lives.
