Tree of Life – Mangrove

Story: The mangroves along the shores of waterways near my Central Coast home inspired this piece along with my passion for environmental sustainability. This is a multi media painting. The wording was inspired by my work in teaching sustainability solutions for Australian households.

The wording reads: ‘Trees make life on Earth infinitely liveable by absorbing carbon, making oxygen, fixing nitrogen in soils, filtering and cleaning water, storing energy, providing food & shelter, & nursery grounds for myriad species. Trees feed our souls with beauty in the changing colours of season, & plentiful shapes, colour & texture of leaf, bark, flowers, fruit & seed. We are interconnected with nature’s cycle of life.’ Author & artist Marta Lett.
