'I often see our local Grey Herons stalking prey in the estuaries and grasslands, and also flying overhead at dusk. When above you hear them first, they have a strange and mournful cry!

They are interesting birds to watch with a certain elegance and poise, so I decided their graceful shapes could suit using an illustrative style with botanical motifs and gold embellishments.' Rachel Olsen
