Notes
Public Health major, BYU. Artist statement: "This is an embroidery of the Tree of Life, as described in Lehi’s Dream and Nephi’s vision. It’s hard to capture in a photo, but the white thread for the fruit is actually a metallic white thread, shimmering and sparkling in the light. I picture the tree as overflowing with fruit, because the love of God is abundant and it extends to all of His children."
