The Connection Collection
The Connection Collection explores Maud Fuller Petersham's vision of nature as a sacred bridge between worlds. Through her masterful watercolors, Maud reveals how trees with their reaching branches and birds in their knowing flight serve as mediators between the physical and spiritual realms.
These works invite viewers to witness the quiet dialogues occurring between humanity and nature—moments where boundaries dissolve and deeper understanding emerges. Whether through the shelter of ancient boughs or the gathering of winged messengers, Maud captures those fleeting instances where connection transcends the merely visible.
Tree of Souls
In this 1970's piece, Maud Fuller Petersham captures a moment of spiritual transition where winter meets spring's promise. A weeping willow, its graceful branches dusted with snow, hosts a gathering of bright-breasted robins whose vibrant red plumage signals nature's awakening.
These robins serve as messengers between seasons and realms—their presence amid falling snow embodies the delicate threshold between dormancy and renewal.
Through her sensitive brushwork, Maud invites viewers to witness this sacred exchange where nature reveals profound truths through its simplest messengers, reminding us that even in winter's final moments, spring's renewal is already present, waiting to unfold.
Tree of Souls and Winter Gathering are often purchased and displayed as a pairing.

Winter’s Gathering
In this 1968 watercolor, Maud Fuller Petersham reveals a sacred communion between worlds. A winter tree, adorned with golden ornaments and snow, becomes a gathering place for dark-winged birds, with a solitary cardinal offering its flame-like presence among them.
These birds converge as emissaries of winter's wisdom—their collective presence around the circular base suggests an ancient ritual, a meeting point between earth and sky. The single cardinal serves as a bridge between realms, its vibrant color a reminder of life's persistence amid winter's stillness.
Through her delicate brushwork, Maud invites viewers to witness this mystical assembly where nature convenes in silent dialogue. The painting reminds us that in the depth of winter, connections deepen and transform, offering insights available only when the world grows quiet and the veil between physical and spiritual thins beneath January's pale light.
