Longing To Roam

These are portraits of belonging, freedom, and a life made whole. This garden, this space, this light—it was never ours to take. It was always hers.

Because I Have My Dog
  • A Life Meant to Wander — In Show — Framed $395

    Original Artwork, 8" x 10" Canvas (Includes Gold Frame) Acrylic on Canvas, 2025 $395

    Available at the Nordic Center, Duluth, MN, from April 11 through May 31, 2025. 


    "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.


    Thank you for walking gently through this world with me – Amy

  • Reaching for the Sun — In Show — Framed $395

    Original Artwork, 8" x 10" Canvas (Includes Gold Frame) Acrylic on Canvas, 2025 $395

    Available at the Nordic Center, Duluth, MN, from April 11 through May 31, 2025. 


    "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.


    Thank you for seeing this with me – Amy

    Original Artwork, 8" x 10" Canvas (Includes Gold Frame) Acrylic on Canvas, 2025 $395

    Available at the Nordic Center, Duluth, MN, from April 11 through May 31, 2025.


    "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.


    Thank you for walking among the wildflowers with me – Amy

    "Where She Belongs"

    Part of the Longing To Roam Collection


    Beneath the gentle sway of pink petals, a red hen peeks out, alert and present, as if she’s just heard the rustle of something unseen. The sky above is a soft, faded blue—quiet, open, and kind. Around her bloom pink and yellow coneflowers, brushing against her feathers. There is curiousity in her gaze, she is gentle, intelligent, and deserving of life’s simple, sacred pleasures: sunlight, soft ground, flowers, and sky—this is where she belongs.


    Thank you for standing in the stillness.

    —Amy
