She Belonged to the Pines

Part of the "Portraits From Another Room" Collection

In this portrait, a woman is poised in a high-collared lace dress adorned with strings of pearls that cascade softly down her chest. A chickadee, small and watchful, perches gently on her shoulder while antlers rise from her crown-like, reaching skyward. 

In "She Belonged to the Pines," she is living in two worlds—one civilized, the other feral. This painting is a reflection of what we often carry within us: a quiet longing for the wild, a return to something more instinctual.

Thank you for pausing with me. Amy

"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.

Thank you for sharing in this moment – Amy

"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.

"Busy Was Her Quiet"

Part of the Portraits from Another Room Collection

"Busy Was Her Quiet" shows the constant activity inside her mind - thoughts, hopes, memories, worries, fears.

Anxiety is not always loud. Sometimes, it's polite.

"Generation Ears"

Part of the Portraits from Another Room Collection

In this piece I am exploring an odd, modern phenomenon—the rise of wearable animal ears across every age, generation, and occasion. I thought about the filter apps too—the ones that gave us ears.

It’s innocent, right? Maybe. Or maybe something else is happening. Are the ears giving us permission to play, or merely just a costume we’ve been sold, and how costume culture is being marketed to us as a form of self-expression, is it a chance to feel a little out of place… or in place, or maybe in wearing them we become what industry wants us to become in the world.

I’m still thinking it through.

"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.

"She Carried More Than She Knew"

Part of the Portraits from Another Room Collection

In “She Carried More Than She Knew,” a woman with yellow 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. 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.

“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 Monroe
