1st prize, The Tree of Life by Jacqueline King, maker of dreams in glass.Â
The Tree of Life is crafted from hand-cut glass, and is in an antique frame.Â
Jacqueline felt this piece was perfect for this fundraiser as trees are not political and because so many trees have been destroyed in Palestine.Â

Â
2nd prize, The Shelter of Trees by Heather Mercer, visual artists sharing beauty and inspiration.Â

This scene is of an olive grove near Galilee. If this tree is still standing it would be a miracle. This work was inspired by Sara Haddad's work, The Sunbird.Â

Retail value: $295 + postage which is included in the prize
Â
3rd prize, Into the Mist by Lara Flanagan, photographer, poet & storyteller.Â
