ORKNEY WHAUP

"Whaup" is the word for Curlew in the local dialect.

The birds I paint are embedded in the places they inhabit, they belong to each other. It will be a devastating loss if we allow the decline of the birds and their habitat to continue.

I will be donating the full price of the painting to Curlew Action.
