In Latin, Semperviren means 'forever living. This initial drawing was done from the artist Kim Reid's imagination and experience to capture an old time feel and the gigantic stature of a 2000 year old Sequoia. The ink drawing took many months. It is estimated that only one in every 2500 redwood trees produce a burl and curly burls are even more rare. The artist feels Humboldt, Mendocino and Del Norte are the most beautiful areas in the Pacific Northwest. Hiking experiences in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park encouraged her to relocate to these ancient forests near the Avenue of the Giants.
