"Soaring Dreams"

In Soaring Dreams, my three backyard hens are captured mid-air, lifted above the trampoline below. While chickens aren’t known for their flight, there’s something magical about the way they flutter just enough to feel like they’re soaring — even if only for a brief moment. This painting captures that spirit of hopeful ambition, a reflection of how small leaps can still feel like big victories.

The trampoline, often a symbol of carefree childhood memories, becomes a stage for these dreamers — a place where even my grounded little hens can imagine themselves taking flight. The piece is a playful reminder that dreaming sometimes just needs a good bounce and a little belief.

Soaring Dreams blends the joy I find in my chickens with the universal desire to rise above limitations. It’s a celebration of possibility — of finding flight in places you least expect.

Thank you for sharing in this dream – Amy.

"Three Dreamers Adrift"

In Three Dreamers Adrift, my three backyard hens float peacefully on a bed that soars above the lake. Suspended between reality and imagination, the piece reflects the quiet magic of drifting off to sleep — when the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Inspired by bedtime stories and the gentle rhythm of the water near home. This painting reflects the quiet comfort of dreams — a place to drift beyond the familiar.

With gratitude for your curiosity – Amy

"Stay"

In Stay, three backyard hens tell a quiet story of connection and letting go. One hen drifts away in a hot air balloon, while another stands on a tower of boxes, reaching desperately to follow. The third remains grounded, watching longingly from below.

This piece reflects the ache of wanting to hold on — to keep those we love close — even when they must move beyond us. It's a tender reminder of the bonds we share, the heartbreak of goodbyes, and the quiet hope that love will always linger, no matter the distance.

Thank you for sharing in this memory – Amy

"Rise of the Local Roost"

Part of the Chicken Stories Collection

In Rise of the Local Roost, a chicken floats gracefully through a bright blue sky, lifted by a bundle of egg-shaped balloons. Lighthearted and surreal, the piece carries both whimsy and weight — a gentle nudge to look upward, and inward, at the choices we make and the stories we support.

At a time when the cost of eggs is climbing and conversations about food sources grow louder, this painting honors the farmers who care deeply for their flocks.

Rise of the Local Roost is both a call and a  reminder to support local, to seek out the stories behind our food, and to rise alongside those who raise their animals with love.

Thank you for lifting this story with me – Amy

"Lady Hens at the Quiet Shore"

Part of the Chicken Stories Collection

In Lady Hens at the Quiet Shore, two elegant hen-women — twin figures with statuesque faces and golden hair crowned by red combs — stand facing each other on the edge of a quiet beach. With their graceful, purple feathered bodies and mirrored stance, they seem suspended in a moment of silent understanding. Behind them, the vast blue lake meets an open sky, the horizon soft and endless. The entire piece carries the gentle patina of time, as if it were a memory pulled from another life.

This painting lives in the space between surreal and sacred — a quiet conversation between sisters, soulmates, or reflections of the self. They could be guardians of the shore or simply sharing one last word before taking flight. The shoreline becomes a threshold — between land and water, solitude and connection, past and present.

Lady Hens at the Quiet Shore invites us to consider the bonds we carry and the strange, beautiful ways we find ourselves reflected in others. 

Thank you for standing at the shoreline with me – Amy

"Lady Hens Enjoying the View"

Part of the Chicken Stories Collection

In Lady Hens Enjoying the View, two serene hen-women — twin figures with statuesque faces, soft pastel yellow hair, and golden wings — stand together on a wide, flat rock at the water’s edge. Their pale, almost ghostly forms face outward in quiet unison, gazing across the northern Minnesota shoreline. Behind them rise the iconic cliffs, red-brown and majestic, crowned with pines. Rocks jut gently from the lake, creating a rhythm of stillness and strength in the open water.

This piece is a meditation on presence — the quiet kind that comes with shared experience and reverence for nature. The two figures, identical yet individual, embody companionship without conversation. 

Lady Hens Enjoying the View is about pausing to witness the beauty around us, to stand still in a fleeting world. It’s about the comfort of being alongside someone who sees what you see, feels what you feel, without needing to explain a thing. A moment of unity, a breath of peace, a shared gaze over the water — sometimes, that’s everything.

Thank you for sharing in this stillness with me – Amy

"High Hopes"

Part of the Chicken Stories Collection

In High Hopes, two hens ride side by side in a small, brown, wicker hot air balloon basket — so full they’re nearly spilling out. Above them rises a whimsically surreal balloon in shades of blue, rust, and gold, patterned with green diamonds and floating upward into a wide blue sky. The scene is lighthearted and dreamlike, a celebration of joy and the unexpected.

This piece radiates optimism and freedom. It captures the kind of moment when anything feels possible — a launch into new heights, whether literal or emotional.

High Hopes is about believing in more. It's about the unlikely dreamers — like two plump hens taking flight — and the idea that no matter where we start, we all deserve the chance to rise. It’s a playful nod to freedom, to friendship, and to lifting each other up, even when the basket is small and the journey uncertain.

It’s a reminder that joy is often found in the unexpected — and sometimes, the best days start with a little lift.

Thank you for soaring with me – Amy

"The Dappled Chick"

Part of the Chicken Stories Collection

In The Dappled Chick, a small yellow chick stands alone on a green and white checkered floor that fades and blurs as it stretches into the distance. The floor feels both grounded and dreamlike — a place where reality begins to slip into something more surreal. The chick itself is strikingly lifelike, with delicate features and soft down, but what draws the eye is the unexpected: a patch of white with green spots across its back and wing area. It’s as if part of its shell still clings to it — or as if something more mysterious has marked it as different.

This piece invites quiet reflection. It’s a tender meditation on becoming — that in-between space where innocence meets individuality. The dappled markings suggest something still forming, still unfolding — a chick not just newly hatched, but newly seen.

The Dappled Chick speaks to the beauty of uniqueness, of carrying traces of where we’ve been while stepping into who we are becoming. It’s about the marks — physical, emotional, symbolic — that we wear as we emerge into the world, and how those differences make us all the more wondrous.

Thank you for stepping into this quiet moment of wonder with me – Amy

"Dance or Break Free"

Part of the Chicken Stories Collection

In Dance or Break Free, a small yellow chick stands on a cream-colored floor, one foot lifted mid-step, suspended by strings. The chick is posed, a marionette — controlled by an unseen force, framed against a muted pea green background. The moment is both delicate and unsettling, capturing the tension between innocence and restraint, between being held and being free.

This piece is a quiet protest — a reflection on the treatment of chickens in industrial farming, where their natural instincts are restricted, and their stories are silenced before they can even begin.

Dance or Break Free asks a question: are we simply making them perform for us, or are we listening to what they need? The marionette strings become a symbol of control — but also a call to awareness. 

This painting is a plea for empathy, a reminder that these creatures were made to live, explore, and feel.

Thank you for seeing the story behind the strings – Amy

"I Was Never Your Puppet"

Part of the Chicken Stories Collection

In I Was Never Your Puppet, a yellow chick stands firmly on both feet — free, grounded, and no longer controlled. Before it, a jester marionette dangles awkwardly, one foot lifted midair, its strings still taut, its wooden crossbar hovering above. The floor is the same cream surface, the backdrop the same muted pea green as Dance or Break Free, creating a clear visual and emotional continuation.

The chick, once manipulated, now stands free — facing the marionette not with fear, but with quiet strength. At last, it is grounded, no longer bound by strings, while the jester remains suspended — controlled and powerless — caught in the very position where the chick was once placed. It’s a striking reversal of power, a moment of reckoning. The jester, still dangling by its strings, wears a fixed, clown-like smile — a hollow expression that feels almost mocking, or perhaps unaware of its own captivity. It’s a chilling image: the system that once held control now exposed, suspended, and absurd. The chick is no longer the puppet — it’s the witness. This is not just a reversal of power, but a quiet confrontation with the ignorance or denial that often hides behind a painted grin.

In this piece, the marionette jester symbolizes the system itself: the industrial chicken industry pulling the strings and the ones caught in its grasp, dancing to the demands of mass production. 

I Was Never Your Puppet is a declaration — a painting about refusing to be manipulated, and about revealing the quiet systems that control both animal and human lives. The chick, once a symbol of vulnerability, now stands as a voice of truth.

Thank you for seeing beneath the strings – Amy

"Strings of Industry"

Part of the Chicken Stories Collection

In Strings of Industry, the jester returns — no longer dangling, no longer grinning. Now, he sits alone on a stool, surrounded by silence. His painted smile has faded into something far more human: shock, fear, and dawning awareness. His wide eyes stare into nothing, as if haunted by the weight of realization.

Thick strings are still attached to every part of him — his arms, shoulders, spine — evidence of the control that once moved him, or perhaps still does. The room is steeped in eerie stillness. The floor beneath him is a strange, unsettling pink, casting long, distorted shadows. Behind him, a green wood-paneled wall, streaked with age.

Strings of Industry is the reckoning. The marionette, once a figure of blind performance, is now forced to sit with the consequences. It’s no longer just about the manipulation of animals, but the deeper moral cost of an entire system — one driven by greed, wealth, and denial.

This painting asks: When the show is over and the strings are laid bare, what remains? What have we done in the name of convenience, profit, and power? Who have we silenced, caged, and broken — and at what cost?

Both haunting and necessary, Strings of Industry holds a mirror up to those who pull the strings... and invites them to look.

Thank you for feeling the weight with me – Amy

"The Balloon Watcher"

Part of the Chicken Stories Collection

In The Balloon Watcher, a chicken perches gracefully on the edge of a white clawfoot tub, its gaze fixed on a red-and-white striped hot air balloon floating—impossibly—within the room. The setting is warm and nostalgic: a pink, brown, and white diamond-tiled floor, white and peach tiles lining the lower half of the wall, and above that, a rust-colored paint that bathes the scene as cozy.

It's a quiet moment of curiosity and wonder unfolding in an unexpected place. The chicken, alert and still, seems to be watching more than a balloon. It’s watching possibility.

While it stands alone in its story, The Balloon Watcher gently echoes themes explored in Stay — the tension between groundedness and letting go, between the known world and the dream of rising beyond it. Here, however, there is no departure, no farewell — only the space to watch, wonder, and perhaps imagine what flight might feel like.

This painting invites reflection on stillness, presence, and the longing we all carry — for more freedom, more beauty, or simply a moment of magic in the ordinary. The balloon may never leave the room, but in watching it, the chicken — and we — are already drifting somewhere new.

Thank you for wondering with me – Amy

"A Longing for Open Fields"

In A Longing for Open Fields, a curious hen stretches its long neck toward a vibrant coneflower, its gaze full of wonder and intent. Set within a lush garden, the painting captures a moment of quiet curiosity — a reminder of the simple joys chickens experience when given the freedom to explore.

This piece honors the life of a chicken — free, vibrant, and valued. It’s a celebration of the local farmers who nurture their flocks with care, offering their birds a life filled with open spaces and natural beauty.

Thank you for sharing in this reflection – Amy

"A Life Meant to Wander"

Part of the Chicken Stories Collection

In A Life Meant to Wander, a hen is shown walking through towering stalks of soft white flowers. The perspective is low and intimate, placing the viewer alongside the hen — not above her, but beside her — as she gazes upward, gently parting the blooms as she moves forward. The scene feels both dreamlike and grounded, a quiet world full of possibility, wonder, and quiet longing.

This is a painting about freedom — not just the act of wandering, but the right to do so. It’s about dignity, curiosity, and honoring the natural rhythms of life. It’s a soft yet steady invitation to reimagine the world through the eyes of a creature who was meant to roam, to wonder, and to be seen.

"Reaching for the Sun"

Part of the Chicken Stories Collection

In Reaching for the Sun, a hen moves quietly through a garden as she gazes upward toward a golden sunflower towering above her. Around her, more sunflowers rise from the earth, swaying gently beneath a blue-green sky. There’s a sense of following one’s nature, a deep yearning for freedom, and a belief in something beyond the boundaries we place on the world.

Reaching for the Sun continues the quiet narrative of honoring the lives of chickens — their intelligence, their curiosity, their right to wander through gardens instead of cages. It’s a visual meditation on presence, peace, and the beauty that unfolds when creatures are allowed to live as they were meant to: with dignity, sunlight, and room to grow.

"Among Giants"

Part of the Chicken Stories Collection

In Among Giants, we follow a hen who makes her way through a towering garden of lupines. The tall spires of purple rise above her like gentle giants, creating a path that feels both sacred and wild. The viewer is not looking down on her, but walking with her — a quiet companion as she moves through her world with purpose and grace.

This is a painting about freedom — the kind that is soft, natural, and deeply deserved.

Among Giants continues the story of giving voice to the voiceless — a gentle protest in favor of a better life for our chickens. It’s a reminder that they, too, belong among beauty and light, not behind wire or in shadows. The lupines, strong yet delicate, stand as both protectors and witnesses, honoring her quiet right to roam.

"The Dappled Hen"

Part of the Chicken Stories Collection

In The Dappled Hen, a cream and brown hen stands confidently against a light blue background, her body adorned with bold, unexpected blue spots that stretch across her chest and cover her wing area. A few soft white spots trail toward her tail, fading like echoes of movement or memory. She stands grounded on a rich brown floor, poised and unbothered — fully herself.

This surreal, striking hen seems to carry her story on her feathers. The blue spots feel symbolic — like markings of experience, identity, and perhaps even transformation. She’s both ordinary and extraordinary, familiar and fantastical.

The Dappled Hen celebrates difference — the way we wear our history, our individuality, and our mystery. It’s a visual declaration that beauty doesn't lie in sameness, but in what sets us apart.

There’s something unapologetic in her stance, something quietly powerful. She doesn’t ask to be explained — she simply is.

Thank you for seeing the extraordinary in the everyday – Amy

"Lady Hens Walking the Beach"

Part of the Chicken Stories Collection

In Lady Hens Walking the Beach, the twin hen-women — statuesque and surreal, their golden hair topped with bright red combs, their feathered bodies a deep, regal purple. Side by side, they walk in quiet unison along the shoreline, their feet just skimming the edge of the water. One wears the faintest trace of a smile, while the other remains still-faced, as if carrying a thought too delicate to speak.

There is something timeless about their stride — two figures moving forward together, calmly, rhythmically, as if they’ve done this before, and will again. The beach becomes a place of gentle ritual, a space for reflection and steady companionship.

Lady Hens Walking the Beach is about the comfort of familiar paths, the presence of those who walk beside us, and the quiet inner shifts that happen when we move through the world with someone who truly sees us. A nod to enduring connection and shared silence, it captures the feeling of both journey and return.

Thank you for walking with me – Amy
