Calm before the Storm

Calm before the Storm

I created this piece as one of 4 in the collection, at various stages through a storm.

Growing up, my grandparents used to bring us to see the "bon bons", The Swans, at the Lough in Cork, so I have always thought of them anytime I see swans.

After my grandparents passed away, almost 3 years apart, I created this small collection, inspired by their unwavering ability to weather any storm together.
