Artist: Artist Sophie Wood Brinker in collaboration with Virginia “Ginger” Covert
Collection: VTA Seasons Cards
Description: Born from a powerful collaboration between Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribal Elder Virginia “Ginger” Covert (1945 - 2024) and artist Sophie Wood Brinker through CHIRP’s Visibility Through Art initiative, this series of art postcards highlights the natural rhythms and teachings of the seasons - through the eyes of Nisenan Culture and wisdom.
Guided by Ginger’s vision and voice, each card features a unique pairing of animal and landscape through the seasons, illustrated with care and reverence by Sophie. Ginger reflected,
“Everything we need is provided by nature. Animals are the teachers—they show us how to live, what to eat, and even how to mourn. The lessons are all around us, but it’s up to us to recognize them. Each season provides its own time for everything.”
Details: one 5x7” folded card
