Welcome to the Black Walnut Studio web site featuring the art of Nicola Hodge Parker.

Nicola’s work is influenced by the botanical style of painting used by the naturalists of the 18th and 19th centuries. Her work reflects a passion for the colors and textures found in nature. She works from her home studio in the Shenandoah Valley.

"Many of us are so busy that we forget to 'stop and smell the roses'. We spend hours in our cars, or indoors at our desks and behind computers. When I am inspired by a bird, a flower or a woodland scene I feel driven to capture it and share it with others. My hope is that the paintings and cards on this site will bring a little of the outdoors into people's homes and offices and remind them of the art that is all around us in nature." -- Nicola
