Artist Statement:
The Great Blue Heron is a classic symbol of the Pacific Northwest.
This elegant, shy bird can often be spotted near the rivers and lakes
that dot this region. Because it is such a still bird when it stands
in water, its reflection is visible. The Native Americans believe
the Blue Heron is the symbol for introspection and self-awareness.
May you always see a reflection of yourself and see all that is within.
The first in the series of Great Blue
Heron quilts and was started in an Ellen Anne Eddy class.
