With their sad, sorrowful expressions, the Tree Spirits of St. Simons Island, seem to reflect the grieving appearance of the trees themselves with their drooping branches and moss. Legend has it, the images immortalize the countless sailors who lost their lives at sea aboard the mighty sailing ships that were once made from St. Simons Island oak. If you look a little closer, you can see that there are more than just sailors amongst these tree faces. Artist Keith Jennings attributes the artwork to the spirit of the tree. He carefully carves the faces from the wood, but his artwork simply reveals each tree's soul.
