A tree is a living thing.
Living things have histories,
they grow, react to events
and, finally, they die.

Robert Lentz is an artist whose
talent is to look deep
into the stresses and natural
features of these dead and
downed trees and to
bring forth the astonishing colors
and textures that are forged
out of that living experience.
His unique natural style of
woodturning and sculpture
captures the inner beauty
of these special trees.
