Paintings of Japanese Maples

Japanese maples, which symbolize peace, balance, and serenity, have long been a subject of art. The Japanese maple trees in Kyoto, Japan, are breathtaking to behold and every year draw huge crowds that wish to experience the perfect fall foliage. Hanson documented her journey to Japan with a collection of photographs and has since interpreted them through the lens of her imagination, imparting even more beauty and wonder to the subjects.
