Spirit of Ginkgo

Acrylic on canvas.

36x36x1.50"

This painting centers on vibrant ginkgo leaves in deep cobalt blue, a symbol of longevity, resilience, and hope across many traditions. Their fan-shaped forms stand out against a textured, earthy background of browns and grays, evoking the timeless presence of stone or bark. Arcing lines in yellow, red, and green radiate outward like streams of energy, linking the leaves to the wider world and underscoring the ginkgo’s role as a bridge between past and present, earth and sky.



The interplay of grounding textures with bold, structured leaves highlights the dual nature of resilience—rooted yet adaptable. The luminous veins and arcs suggest pathways of growth, reminding us that resilience evolves with time. This work invites mindfulness and reflection, offering the ginkgo as a guide to embody stability, endurance, and renewal, while staying open to transformation and connection with nature’s wisdom.
