Graceful Blues

This elegant wetland bird has long wings, neck, bill and legs. The long limbs dictate the heron s movements. It flies with deep, slow wing beats and on land or in the water, it walks erect with long strides. The Heron is a patient hunter, standing among the wetland reeds like a statue before capturing its prey with its beak. Great Blue Herons often nest in colonies and pairs share the nurturing duties of raising the young.
Jan was born and raised in Calgary and now enjoys practicing her art in the peaceful surroundings of Crowsnest Pass. She has always had a love for rocks and glass and states than when a special friend and "Head Sherpa" Perline Stiff Slipper introduced her to the beautiful mountainous area of the Crowsnest pass, she set in motion new opportunities for Jan to create art using both materials.
