Tree of Life is a public artwork by American artist Nancy Metz White, located at the north end of Mitchell Boulevard Park, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is located in close proximity to Miller Park. Unveiled in 2002, 'Tree of Life' is constructed out of recycled steel from industry processes. It stands 2½ stories tall, and is brightly painted. White intended for the sculpture to become a place for the community to gather and forge new ties.

Description
Tree of Life is a 2½ story tall, welded steel sculpture. The steel was sourced from industrial waste. The entire sculpture is brightly colored, the tree trunk and branches a bright blue-green, with orange, red, yellow, and green leaves. The steel "trunk" and "branches" form an umbrella-like canopy made from welded-together flashings left over from machinery forging.
