A seated figure in a cream dress, quietly absorbed in a book — one of the most personal pieces Susan Lordi has ever created. She drew straight from life for this one, with her own mother as the inspiration.
"I wanted her to be very quiet, contemplative, calming… to exude a quiet happiness, contentment from within. My mom is the inspiration for this piece. She was a teacher most of her life. And she continues to pursue many, varied interests through reading and learning. She always read to us while we were growing up — and encouraged us to read. With her lifelong love of learning, she continues to open the world — to herself and others." — Susan Lordi
The sentiment reads: "A lifelong love of learning."
A wonderful gift for graduates, students, teachers, or anyone who finds joy and peace in the pages of a good book.
