The Guarding the Tradition Collection is a commemorative series of six originals prints celebrating the deep tradition of excellence in women's basketball on The Farm by Stanford Sumi-e Artist, Drue Kataoka. Six outstanding guards were rendered in the powerful, single black brush strokes of sumi-e, Japanese brush painting. Reflecting on 25 years of intercollegiate competition, The GTT Collection fuses basketball with brush strokes to chronicle significant moments in Stanford sports history. Capturing the essence of six superb Stanford athletes, the swish of the hoop is rendered in the swish of the brush. Explosive brush strokes distill the Stanford hoops experience and evoke that charged excitement of a close game and adrenaline rush on the way to a national championship. In Trailblazing with Azzi: Jennifer Azzi, inked ebony brush strokes signal that Azzi's blazing a trail to Stanford's first national championship. Charting the Cardinal's path to victory and aiming high, she executes her signature jump shot. Trailblazing with Azzi evokes the airborne guard who is no longer bound by game time.
