The ‘TreeSpirit Collection’
by ANTHONY ZUCCARELLO, 'TreeMan'
I follow in footsteps tracing four generations of artisans and craftsmen using distinctive forms of media. I reflect tradition combining individuality, taste, style and innovation in the creation of my unique art forms while lending fresh perspective to my uncommon creations.
Trees are my exclusive theme and therefore I am known as 'TreeMan'.

The tree images I paint or sculpt represent the very essence of all that is Spiritual; this is why my collection is titled ‘TreeSpirits’.
My works express my belief that Mother Nature shares her secret for survival by using tree branches to paint in language of gentle winding twists and free motions which bend and flex in harmony to the uncontrollable forces which surround life.
Thus, she creates this message in tapestry against a background of sky:
“Let Go and Let Flow”
The painted works are done on Agate, Stained Glass, Ceramic Tile and Mineral Stones. The Sculpted images are made directly onto ceramic tiles using my own medium and hand made tools.
