Treewhispers was initated in the year 2000 by artists Pamela Paulsrud and the late Marilyn Sward. Te project has been presented in a multitude of venues while gathering round, handmade papers from participants around the world. On the papers, contributors have remembered a tree or the spirit of a tree.


Some contributions are simply a magnificent example of beautiful handmade paper and some include text and/or imagery. Some suggest tree rings, depict leaves or illustrate a personally significant tree; others are imprinted with a poem or a meaningful story relating to trees.


Te handmade paper is bound together to create large tree assemblages and ultimately a forest of hanging paper rounds for the growing, ever-changing installation. Te art of hundreds of participants has been exhibited at colleges, museums, libraries and art centers. It includes the work of professional artists displayed alongside elementary school class projects.
