About the Design:
"The Heron and the Turtle " features a Great Blue Heron basking in a wetland with a turtle sunning in the waters below. The plants featured are pickerel weed and southern blue flag iris. This piece is strongly influenced by both folk art and art nouveau styles. I also created a sister print called “ The Heron Takes Flight." Each full color block is hank inked and pressed, so each one turns out slightly differently.

Item Details:
This particular print is made from a hand carved “soft kut” printmaking block.
The printed area of this artwork measures approximately 8 Inches wide by 16 inches tall.
Includes a custom cut, acid free matboard and backing board which measures 13x19 on the exterior and will fit into widely available standard frames.
The thick, archival printmaking paper used is sustainably forested, and made using 100% wind energy during the manufacturing process.
The inks used are all made right here in beautiful NC :)
Each print is signed in and numbered in pencil by me. Limited Edition of 85 prints.
All New South limited edition blocks are limited to less than 100 imprints, including all editions and artist proofs, ensuring that every piece is special.

About Block Printing:
Block prints often have slight textures and variations in the finished products. I think that's why I love them-- each one is special. Please be aware that, while I aim for consistency within each edition, there may be slight variations with each print and colors may differ from your computer screen.

Shipping and Production:
Please allow up to a week of time for your artwork to be printed and to dry thoroughly. If you need a faster turnaround time, message me and I'll do my best to accommodate you.

Beautiful pieces for our mantel

We were looking for something beautiful and something that celebrated nature to center in our new home. I immediately thought of Katie's work, which I've admired for a long time. We bought 3 pieces to hang side by side (the Heron and the Turtle, Pileated Woodpecker, and Maypop) and couldn't be happier! Thanks, Katie, for sharing your talents with all of us!
