Layers of Stillness invites you into a quiet moment of reflection through the timeless beauty of ginkgo leaves. In this collaborative piece, the soft green tones of the oil painting are paired with nearly 100 suspended glass ginkgo leaves created by glass artist Kristin McFarlane. Kristin’s leaves, infused with real ginkgo foliage and enhanced with delicate techniques—some adorned with silver leaf—capture the golden hues of autumn, when ginkgos release their leaves in graceful surrender. Together, the layers of painting and glass create a meditative stillness, a gentle pause to honor the changing seasons, nature’s elegance, and the harmony between the two art forms.
