The ginkgo tree is a sacred tree of the East and a symbol of love, hope, and unity between opposites. It is also associated with longevity and is known to have medicinal healing powers. In this collection the beautiful fan-shaped leaves are intricately designed, lightweight, to wear and create an elegant statement piece. From traveling through China to walking through the trails at Descanso Gardens in Pasadena, CA – every time I see a ginkgo tree I have to stop and admire the unique shape of its leaves.

When I create a work of art, it begins from a place of inspiration. Once I start painting, often new and unexpected things happen on the canvas and I’ll abandon my original idea and allow fresh inspiration and intuition to guide my work.
