This piece is one of my largest current linocut blocks—it is about 12 by 12 inches and needs to be hand printed with a huge, 100-year-old press. (Even with my smallest carving tool, I couldn't have done this one any smaller because of the circumference.)
It's a meditation on celebrating our present journey; with enough intention, we *can* cultivate a garden in our inner worlds. : )
And here on the east coast of Florida the turtles are back! My 5 by 7 inch watercolor study is a humble attempt to honor these truly expansive, ancient souls. Here is a turtle's fresh nest and trail we spotted recently, just after the mother returned to the sea after nesting and just as the turtle patrol volunteers arrived. I love the infinity trail she left!
Thanks for stopping by! : )

How wonderful to see turtles in your part of the world. I have only ever seen them in zoos. Your new linocut is great and I love the turtle watercolour.
Absolutely beautiful! Love your work.
Especially loving the turtle paintings!
Hello Nicola - I have met you at the farmer's mkt in St. Augustine a few times - I purchased an owl and the acorn print from you for friends, while I was down there this winter helping my brother with his restaurant. I am emailing to ask if you would take a look at a blog I'm working on and consider sending me a jpeg of one of your prints to share on it. I thought of you and your beautiful and wise images of the earth and nature in balance. I'd be honored if you would participate.
Thanks,
Honor
