Susan Lordi was inspired to produce the Willow Tree Quest Figurine by her son, who at the time was immersed in the research and documentation of other cultures. "The idea of the figure is to portray that time in someoneâs life when he finds something that he is passionately interested in â and begins to pursue it, independently, with no parental prodding. Heâs âinto itâ. Itâs the love of learning for learningâs sake." - Susan Lordi
Quest represents when a young person (or really, any age person) is motivated by his own interests and goals and could be a birthday gift or graduation gift, or a thank you gift to a teacher/mentor who may have sparked an interest in a young mind.
