Grey Herons are one of my favourite birds to draw, and they find their way into many of my paintings. I admire their elegant posture, black eye-stripe and snooty attitude! Time for the heron to take centre stage..

One in a tiny edition of 20, each drypoint etching is made by scratching into the surface of a small acrylic plate which is then inked up, wiped clean and rolled through a printing press (similar to a mangle) so that the etched areas retain the ink and the untouched areas are lighter. The focus on tone rather than colour is unusual for me and I love the slightly gritty quality of the lines and the uncertainty of how each print might reveal itself. I use Fabriano paper which has a creamy, velvety texture, and each print is numbered and hand tinted with watercolour, so every one is a unique, original piece of art.
