I AM ZYLAHNA

I’m passionate about creating high vibrational artwork that reflects the dynamic balance and vivid beauty of nature. My art acts as an energetic guidepost that can spark inner peace.

My hand-carved and hand-printed linocuts are based on the ancient Yin Yang Philosophy that describes two opposing forces that are interconnected and counterbalance each other to form a whole. 

Linoleum art is a variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum is used for a relief surface to create a handmade print.

I was born and raised in Germany and now live in Waynesville, North Carolina. I have been on a spiritual path for several years, searching for wholeness and balance within. I have studied many spiritual traditions and I’m drawn to the wisdom of the indigenous people. I have a strong connection to Mother Earth and the Animal Kingdom, which is being reflected by my creations. I also write poetry with each art piece to amplify the energy of the images. 

Poetry example that compliments the Yin Yang Wolf Linocut: 

SPIRIT OF THE WOLF

Do you remember who you are?

Take a deep breath, listen to my majestic howl and follow me fearlessly.

Run unconfined through the forests of life that are as dark as the night and as bright as the illuminated moon.

Feel your own heartbeat, wild and free, longing for home. Let your heart love fiercely. Let it be full of wonder and playfulness.

Are you ready? It is time for you to become the leader you were born to be – Powerful yet gentle, sovereign yet deeply connected. 

Feel the endless hunger for exhilarating bliss. Let it drive you to the end of the world where there is nothing left to discover but yourself and your own magnificence.

Run, Dear one, run! Remember who you are!
