Tree

About Tree

The elegant form of a bare tree—its leaves, branches and trunks are celebrated in this mixed media assemblage by Alice Vander Vennen.The Canadian artist uses an eclectic variety of ‘found’ materials—textiles, burnished copper, acrylic paint, and marine fossils to create striking detailed compositions that reference the artist’s love of nature.

“Reimagining the familiar, my contemporary compositions invite connection with ancient wisdom and emergent stories through engagement with the natural world.”
Alice Vander Vennen

She trained as a sculptor at Calvin College, USA, and also at the Ontario College of Art and Design. Alice Vander Vennen’s work is in public, private and corporate collections both here and abroad.
