Honu is the Hawaiian word for their green sea turtles. The Green Sea Turtle is the largest hard-shelled sea turtle in the world, and they are currently endangered.
In this artwork, I depicted Honu set against a “garden” of abstracted jellyfish, diatoms and other shapes.

Having a great love animals, fairytales, and world mythology, Pennsylvania artist Lynnette Shelley fuses these influences into her strikingly unique illustrations. Her artwork strikes a primal chord in many viewers, with almost Jungian associations to the colors and shapes. Her artworks have been likened to images from an undiscovered ancient civilization or culture.
