From the Studio
Created after a trip to Florida, Heron with Fish draws from the quiet poise of wading birds and the reflective calm of coastal wetlands. Although inspired by a specific place, the heron could belong anywhere, which feels true to a life shaped by travel. Working in a single layer allowed the details of feather, water, and foliage to emerge through careful restraint, capturing both movement and patience in a single moment.
