Our home was in Auckland near a famous landmark called [One Tree Hill](https://www.lonelyplanet.com/new-zealand/auckland-1341384/attractions/one-tree-hill/a/poi-sig/416312/1341384?ref=cecilieo.com) and we frequently walked in the adjoining [park](https://cornwallpark.co.nz/?ref=cecilieo.com). On top of that hill, there used to be just one tree. It was a Pohutukawa. After the second world war, an obelisk in honor of Maori soldiers was erected. ![One Tree Hill in Auckland, new Zealand.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/90/28/902889ae-a25f-49d4-9270-dcc363f404b7/content/images/wordpress/2022/03/4_one_tree_art_club_cecilieo.jpg) The red tree illustration inside the One Tree Art Club logo is a Pohutukawa. The only place it grows is in New Zealand, and it is sacred to the Maori people. To experience its glowing beauty, you have to travel there. ![Pohutukawa trees in New Zealand](https://storage.ghost.io/c/90/28/902889ae-a25f-49d4-9270-dcc363f404b7/content/images/wordpress/2022/03/1_one_tree_art_club_cecilieo.jpg) My illustrator career started with that tree. It took off with a book & wisdom cards called [“Wisdom of the Four Winds”](https://stoneprint.co.nz/product/wisdom-four-winds-shamanic-wisdom-cards/?ref=cecilieo.com) by Barry Brailsford. The topic was endemic species to NZ and their symbolism, applied to shamanic wisdom cards. The illustrations are similar to those I make for my tutorials. “Wisdom of the Four Winds” has gone through many reprints and has become a classic in NZ. ## Welcome to One Tree Art Club!
