Christina Nichols
I have been a professional artist for 40 years, living on Vashon Island in the Pacific Northwest.

My work is mostly inspired by nature. I also like to mix modern and ancient sources in an attempt to elicit images of the collective unconscious.

I currently like to use many hand-pulled printing processes, for example—etchings, collagraphs, monoprints and linoleum block prints. I have been a member of Quartermaster Press at Beall Greenhouses since 2011.

$a 2 picture collage. Image 1 is Cast from concrete and shaped by intention, these votive candle holders evoke post-industrial rubble, as if salvaged from the ruins of a failed civilization. Their fractured forms and raw textures suggest remnants of structures once built for permanence, now repurposed to hold light. Each piece bears subtle fire-kissed colorations, with scorched tones and darkened edges that hint at having endured extreme heat. Traces of rust emerge like archaeological evidence, reinforcing the sense of age, collapse, and survival. Together, they transform ruin into ritual, offering a quiet promise of illumination and renewal. Image 2 is Mithran is a small-batch, dual-extracted mushroom tonic made from foraged Red Belted Conk (Fomitopsis pinicola) and Artist’s Conk (Ganoderma applanatum). Using both alcohol and water extraction, it captures a wide range of traditionally valued compounds, including polysaccharides, triterpenes, phenolics, and bitter terpenoids. Mithran has a long history of folk use for supporting inflammation balance, immune function, digestion, and liver health. Research on these conks shows antioxidant activity and alcohol-soluble compounds with activity against cancer cells and tumor growth in laboratory settings.$
