Tree of Harmony

Artist Statement

Though we all may come from separate branches, we all share the same tree. In our Tree of Harmony mixed media collaborative collage, all levels of our K-12 academy participated in the process and demonstrated their ability to work with one another, just like our animals. We found that, even though we may differ in several ways, we all have our own special gifts to offer, and we’re even stronger when we support each other and work together.
