Gingko Royal,
2008 Watercolor & Archival Digital Print
on Paper, 41" x 30"

The gingko is believed to be one of the oldest living seed trees. Originating in southern China, fossils confirm they were once widespread across the earth. The trees provide a link to our botanical heritage. Some ginkgos may live longer than 3,000 years and are thought to have medicinal purposes. "It appeals to the historic soul: we see it as an emblem of changelessness... a tree which has in its keeping the secrets of the immeasurable past." Sir Albert Seward
