This piece was born of my love of herons. They're not particularly common in the UK, so when you see one, there's this moment of inertia where you stare at each other and you can't decide if the huge, incredibly still creature in front of you is real or a statue. And then they spread their massive wings and glide serenely away like aethereal pterodactyls. Herons are symbols of tranquillity and it's clear to see why. I wanted this piece to have a sense of the surreal you feel when you happen upon a heron minding its own business. Most of the colours in this piece are grey: slate grey, blue grey, pale grey. The subject stares defiantly at the viewer, her pale grey eyes staring unblinkingly into yours; she is comfortable in her own skin and there's a sense of peace and quiet confidence to her. There are three springs of pussy willow protruding from behind her - these fluffy, pale grey nubs giving a further sense of tactility and symbolising winter. This painting is on 100% cotton canvas with a wrap around edge. It also comes with 8 free keys for tightening in the unlikely event of loosening.

I'm a freelance artist, based in Leeds, and mainly work in acrylic, gouache and soft pencil, applied with delicate brushstrokes, bold palette knives, heavy graphite and smudgy fingers. Born within the wild hills of the northern Peak District, I began painting and drawing at a very early age and was a regular entrant to the Derbyshire Open Art Exhibition. When working for leisure, my pieces focus mainly on figurative subjects with dark, brooding and occasionally erotic interpretations. I primarily work on commission, which means I have developed a broad range of styles to suit customers’ needs. From pets to family members, precise buildings to abstract countrysides, delicate fairies to valiant superheroes and much more, I'm eager to take on any challenge and add my own twist. I've never formally studied art. I've been painting and drawing as long as I could hold a pencil or paintbrush and I've just developed myself organically. I had my first paid commission at the age of 16 and haven't stopped creating bespoke pieces since. I have exhibited at Buxton Open Art exhibition, and at various small galleries and pubs around Yorkshire.
