By late summer, the ginkgo’s leaves are fully formed and flourishing, gathering sunlight and storing the energy that will carry the tree into the season ahead. There is a sense of transition beginning—summer is still here, but change is on the horizon.

Guidance, the final piece in the Summer Ginkgo Collection, reflects that moment. The ginkgo leaves take on the feeling of sails across the water, catching the wind and allowing it to help guide their direction. Inspired by the California coast, the piece explores the idea that we don't always need to know exactly where we're going. Sometimes it's about trusting our instincts, experiences, and the forces around us to help show the way.

Guidance closes out summer with a sense of movement and possibility—a reminder to stay open to what guides us toward whatever comes next.

By midsummer, the ginkgo is flourishing with strength and confidence. Its leaves continue to gather sunlight, quietly sustaining the life of the tree while standing fully rooted in the landscape. Long associated with clarity, resilience, and wisdom, the ginkgo reminds us that growth is not only about movement—it is also about perspective.

Inspired by the openness of the California coastline, Lucidity reflects the clarity that often arrives beside the ocean. Expansive skies, shifting water, and the distant horizon invite us to slow down, quiet the noise, and see with renewed perspective. The piece explores the calm that comes from creating space—for reflection, for presence, and for seeing ourselves and the world more clearly.

By summer, the ginkgo has fully settled into its surroundings. Its canopy is established, its leaves mature, and its presence woven naturally into the landscape. No longer emerging or unfolding, the tree simply exists in harmony with the world around it.

Belonging reflects this stage of the season—a sense of rootedness, connection, and ease. Inspired by the way individual leaves gather to create something greater together, the piece explores the comfort of finding one's place and the quiet confidence that comes from being exactly where you are meant to be.

Blooming reflects the fullness of spring — the moment when growth is no longer tentative, but expressive. Layers of overlapping ginkgo forms unfold like gathered stems in a bouquet, creating movement, and vibrancy within the composition.

Unlike the quieter transition found in earlier works of the series, this piece embraces a sense of openness and vitality. The varied greens and blush tones build upon one another, creating the feeling of something alive and actively becoming.

The ginkgo leaf itself has long symbolized resilience, longevity, and renewal. Its fan-like shape also subtly mimics organic forms found throughout nature and the body — suggesting growth not only outwardly, but internally as well.

Part of the 12-print Ginkgo Collection, Blooming continues the seasonal progression from winter into spring, where structure gives way to flourishing color, and full expression.

Awakening reflects the moment in spring when growth becomes active — when what has emerged begins to engage fully with light, space, and movement. Rather than a single shift, it’s the layering of variations that creates a sense of life coming into focus.

Forms overlap, lines move, and the composition begins to feel animated — as if the leaf is not just opening, but becoming aware of its own presence.

The ginkgo leaf itself carries a deeper resonance. Long associated with memory and clarity, its shape echoes the human brain — a quiet reminder of connection between nature and the mind. In this piece, that parallel emerges subtly, suggesting not just physical growth, but a kind of internal awakening.

In many ways, we experience seasons like this too. After something new begins, there is a moment when we re-engage — when awareness sharpens, energy returns, and we begin to move with intention again.

The 12-print series unfolds across the four seasons, beginning with winter. Each season has its own curated color palette, with one color carried through from one season to the next to create continuity.

Emergence reflects the first signs of spring — the moment when a tree begins to shift from stillness into growth. After the stark structure of winter, the earliest hints of color and movement begin to appear.

It’s a subtle transition. Not a dramatic burst of change, but the quiet beginning of something new.

In many ways, we experience seasons like this too. After periods of endurance or reflection, something within us begins to open — ideas, energy, possibility. Slowly, we move forward again.
