Trees are among the most studied subjects in environmental psychology. Time spent among them, from a walk through a forest to a window view of a single tree, has been linked to lower stress, lower blood pressure, and restored attention, and studies using images of trees find some of the same benefits, though typically to a smaller degree. Many researchers understand this as part of a deeper human orientation toward the living world, shaped over the long relationship between our nervous systems and the landscapes we evolved within. These images were made within that relationship, in forests, along paths, and in the particular quality of light that moves through a canopy and arrives changed.
The works in this gallery range from the redwoods of northern California and the old trees of the Olympic coast to golden aspens in Colorado, bamboo groves and cherry blossoms in Japan, and solitary trees standing in still water. They suit bedrooms, studies, and offices, and they are a natural choice for rooms without a window view, such as interior offices, consultation rooms, and classrooms, where a view of trees is otherwise out of reach.
