Gustav Klimt



The tree of life is a widespread symbol in the world's mythologies and religions. 

Some of the meanings:

·        Unity of body, mind & spirit

·        Head in the clouds, feet on the ground

·        Interplay of birth, growth & death

·        Interconnectedness of all life

·        Abundance and nourishment

·        The roots dig deep, the trunk establishes a foundation, the branches reach out for sustenance, the leaves collect strength, and the fruit gives of itself

Use the Tree of Life symbolism as your theme for your Art Quilt!
