Rosalind began work as a commercial illustrator in Indiana. Eventually moving to California, were she developed an interest in mixed media art, made papier mache sculptures and worked as a muralist for about twenty years. Finally settling in New Jersey, she began making paper in 2000, shortly after marriage to Reverend Ralph Shammah Nichol, inheriting a large family in the process. Rosalind serves with her husband as co-pastor of DEC Ministries in Newark, and operates the Tea & Wings Studio from her home in Orange, New Jersey
