Did you know the Ginko Biloba tree symbolizes longevity and endurance?

As a "living fossil" that has survived for over 200 million years—with individual trees living more than 1,000 years—the ginkgo represents timeless strength and deep-time survival- according to the Smithsonian.

They also represent hope and peace too.

Following the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima, several ginkgo trees (hibakujumoku) miraculously survived and resprouted from the scorched earth. This made the tree a global emblem of peace, renewal, and recovery.

I have loved these trees since I was a kid because of their delicate, unique fan-shaped leaves.

Hey there! Yes, you over there.😉

I want to talk to you today about supporting artists like me. I could ask for your support with a "buy me a coffee" button or I could ask you to sign up for an event I am hosting, but what I REALLY need is your HELP.

Artists need to be seen to survive, and while things like "Buy Me a Coffee" help, what I need most right now is your voice.

And I want to know what you think. If you enjoy my tips, art process, or paintings, please take a brief moment to like, comment, and most importantly
🙏SHARE my posts with your network.

Finding the right buyer for every painting takes a village, and your simple share on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn is the most powerful way you can support my career.

Oh, one more thing. If you want to find out about new artwork BEFORE I post it on social media- you will get a sneak peak and first chance - if you sign up for my newsletter. I post my brand NEW stuff there and will let you know about upcoming events too. Just go to my website: FulbrightArts.com to sign up.

Thank you- I am very grateful for your help!😊

Amazing trip this past weekend for me (and Fulbright Arts). We went to Yosemite National park for the first time.

We took my Mom and Aunt along as they had been there before, but only drove through the first time years ago. If you have never been to this national park, it is a MUST SEE on your bucket list. You will understand the majesty and beauty need to conserve places like this for all Americans. This is an amazing natural WONDER of our world

And of course, for me as an artist, I found so many things inspiring to paint I exhausted my cell phone battery several times taking so many photos!🤭
