Oprah Winfrey, American television host, actress, producer, and philanthropist recently visited LIK LAHAINA in Lahaina, Hawaii. After leaving, she made a personal phone call to Peter in which she told him, "I love your photography like Mother Nature loves you." She visited the gallery on July 17th, 2010, the same day that Peter's latest masterpiece "Imagine", made its worldwide debut at all 13 Lik Galleries.

To date, "Imagine," the third release of 2010 has been the most successful release of a Peter Lik piece.  It quickly surpassed "Tree of Life," the record setting release of early 2010.  Currently, over 25% of the edition has been sold including Artist Proof and Limited Edition prints.

The success of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" now on air for almost twenty-five years, has helped to launch the success of numerous products and personalities and we are honored to have her as a collector of Peter Lik Fine Art Photography.  As well as hosting and appearing on television shows, Winfrey co-founded the women's cable television network Oxygen. She is also the president of Harpo Productions (Oprah spelled backwards.)

Celebrity Collectors of Peter Lik's work include Bill Clinton, Magic Johnson and Cindy Crawford to name a few.

Contact your local gallery for more information on becoming a collector or email sales@peterlik.com for details.

The vibrant colors evoke emotion while the tranquil grass provides a sense of peace.

Pete took the shot just beneath the tree with a wide angle lens shortly after a rainstorm which intensified the breathtaking colors in the photo.

The branches symbolize one's journey through life.

As soon as he saw the shot Pete was immediately inspired by the name "Tree of Life." To learn more about the Tree of Life, as well as Peter Lik's other fine art photography, visit Pete's gallery online.

The partnership between Peter Lik and Concern Worldwide enables collectors to acquire fine art while providing relief to the people of Haiti in this time of great need.
