Hoffmaster Postcard
For this postcard I illustrated the Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) which is a native to parts of Michigan including within Hoffmaster State Park. It is a unique turtle with a hinged plastron (bottom part of the shell) which allows it to close up tightly and protect itself from predation.
