A Black-crowned Night Heron settles protectively over her nest, surrounded by the tangled architecture of branches and the muted colors of the Chesapeake watershed.
Created with detailed ink line work and transparent layers of watercolor, Sanctuary offers a glimpse into a private moment—quiet, watchful, and briefly revealed. The circular composition draws the heron and her eggs into a sheltered world of their own, while branches extending beyond its edge connect that hidden refuge to the surrounding landscape.
