Stormborn

 Inspired by a few chance encounters with grey seal mothers and pups along the shoreline of our island, as well as the beautiful linework of Clifford Webb, Stormborn depicts the resilience of wildlife amongst the turbulent waters of wintertime seas. Grey seal mothers typically pup between November and January, and stay with their pups for the first few weeks, feeding them up before going back to sea themselves. The pup must wait until its coat of white fur has shed before it can take to the waves as well, so it needs to lay down as much fat as possible whilst its mother is there to feed it.
