I like to go on walks along the Haw River, and I am always greeted by one or two blue herons. Watching them take flight always comforts me, and the world feels like it stops for a moment.

There is something about a persimmon to me that is so breathtaking, so I needed to sit and draw it. Persimmons are also a rich natural dye. Kakishibu, made from fermented unripe persimmon fruit, has a rich cultural heritage that dates back centuries in Japan, where it holds a special place in traditional textiles, paper and woodwork. It is renowned for its rich amber color, durability and eco-friendly properties.
