"Holding Love Close"

Part of Portraits From Another Room Collection

In Holding Love Close, a woman cradles her hen tenderly against her chest, her gaze soft and affectionate. Set against a backdrop of decorative wallpaper, the piece evokes a sense of nostalgia — a quiet moment frozen in time.

This painting reflects the deep bond we form with the animals we care for — the quiet comfort, the unwavering affection, and the way they become part of our hearts and homes. With its retro charm and tender warmth, Holding Love Close is a tribute to those gentle connections that remind us love can come with feathers.

"My Darling Red"

Part of the Portraits from Another Room Collection

In "My Darling Red", a woman in a soft teal dress stands against a teal-toned decorative wallpaper. Cradled closely to her chest is a red-brown hen, held in a protective pose. Her gaze drifts off the canvas — questioning, as if guarding her beloved bird from something unseen.

This painting is a quiet reflection on care and the emotional bond we form with the creatures we love. The woman’s posture is one of strength — a nurturer, unafraid to stand between what she loves and whatever might threaten it.

"My Darling Red" honors that fierce kind of love — the kind that shelters, defends, and doesn’t ask for permission to feel deeply. It's a tribute to the quiet guardianship we offer to those in our care and the strength found in tenderness.

"The Nest She Wore"

Part of the Portraits from Another Room Collection

In The Nest She Wore, a woman sits with quiet elegance, her piercing green eyes echoing the leaves that bloom across the pink and yellow floral wallpaper behind her. Woven delicately into her hair is a bird’s nest — a symbol of home, nurture, and quiet strength — while a red cardinal perches gently on her shoulder, as if whispering something only she can hear.

Dressed in shades of red and pink that mirror the warmth of the wallpaper, she carries an air of timeless grace — classic, aged, and touched by something wistful. This piece explores the weight and beauty of caretaking, the way we carry our nests — our responsibilities, our tenderness, our hopes — often without speaking a word of it.

The Nest She Wore is a visual poem about memory, connection, and the beautiful tangle of what we carry in our minds and hearts.

"The Owl Keeper"

Part of the Portraits from Another Room Collection

In The Owl Keeper, a woman in a rust-colored dress adorned with pearl earrings and a matching necklace stands poised and timeless. Her black hair is swept into a classic updo, and her expression is calm yet commanding as she gazes directly at the viewer. Perched delicately on her finger is an owl, content and serene, looking off into the distance. Behind her, rust and peach-toned floral wallpaper softly echoes the hues of her dress, blending her into the space as if she belongs wholly to it.

This painting was inspired by the extraordinary winter irruption of 2025, when Duluth became a haven for owls migrating south from Canada in search of food. Boreal owls — rarely seen and even more rarely photographed — arrived in an unexpected and remarkable influx, joined by the majestic great gray owls. These rare visitors, driven by a shortage of their primary food source, the vole, offered a haunting, beautiful presence across the snowy landscape.

The Owl Keeper captures that moment in time, blending reverence for nature with the quiet strength of the feminine spirit. The owl, perched with trust, becomes a symbol of mystery, wisdom, and resilience — and the woman, its keeper, a quiet guardian of fleeting, wild beauty.

Thank you for honoring this rare moment with me – Amy

"She Carried More Than She Knew"

Part of Portraits From Another Room

In She Carried More Than She Knew, a woman with yellow 1950s-style hair and black retro glasses stands poised — balancing an apple and a cluster of grapes on her head. One hand offers two eggs, while the other lifts a beautiful chicken close to her heart. Set against a softly patterned wallpaper background, this portrait brings together the visual language of three ongoing series: The Nature of Us, Chicken Stories, and Portraits from Another Room.

The apple and grapes nod to the emotional weight explored in The Nature of Us — moments of joy, imbalance, vulnerability, and connection. The eggs and hen are a tribute to my deep love and advocacy for chickens, themes central to Chicken Stories. And the wallpapered backdrop ties the piece into the intimate, reflective world of Portraits from Another Room.

This painting holds all my current emotions — my joy, fears, longings, and reflections — layered and carefully balanced, much like the woman herself.

She Carried More Than She Knew is about everything we hold — the seen and the unseen — and the quiet strength it takes to carry it all with grace.

Thank you for seeing this piece – Amy

"The Woman Who Loved Cranes"

Part of the Portraits from Another Room Collection

In The Woman Who Loved Cranes, a woman in a white dress stands with grace, her hands extended gently, palms up, as a delicate paper crane floats above them. She gazes down at the crane with quiet contentment, her expression soft, as if holding a private moment of peace. Behind her, a clear sky-blue background offers a sense of calm and openness.

This painting is a tribute believing in something fragile without knowing what will come. The paper crane — a symbol of hope, healing, and wishes — hovers just above her hands, held not with force, but with faith.

The Woman Who Loved Cranes speaks to the quiet strength of those who love gently and who find wonder in the simple. It’s about the kind of love that doesn’t need to be explained — it simply is.

"The Woman Who Swallowed a Lemon Seed"

Part of the Portraits from Another Room Collection

In The Woman Who Swallowed a Lemon Seed, a woman with short auburn-red hair, vivid green eyes, and pearl earrings gazes thoughtfully off the canvas. She appears composed — yet something unusual blooms just above her: a crown of bright yellow lemons and leafy vines sprouting from her hair. A small green and yellow bird perches gently on her shoulder, as if keeping watch over her quiet transformation. Behind her, wallpaper patterned with leaves and lemons echoes the surreal, botanical wonder of her crown.

This piece grew from a question about what might happen if someone swallowed a lemon seed. From there, it grew into an image that took root.

The Woman Who Swallowed a Lemon Seed is  a visual tale of transformation, where everyday moments give way to the surreal, and where the seeds of thought can turn into something far more alive than we ever imagined.
