A godforsaken flippin Heron for actual angel on earth Katie.* 

One of my absolute favourite birds, if you’ve been in to the studio you will have seen one I painted on the wall so I could look at it from my chair. I have one that graces my garden, and they also penetrate my dreams. I loved making this.

*Not sure why all that religious imagery ended up in my first sentence , and I will unpack it later.
