"Running with Grace"

Part of the Portraits from Another Room Collection

Inspired by the nuns, I see simply going about their day. It was an image that stayed with me, so I painted it to remember it. It was inspiring to see and something I've never forgotten.

"Generation Ears"

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.

"Where Shoes Are Better Carried Than Worn"

Portraits from Another Room Collection Chapter: The Divine in the Ordinary

No shoes. No rush. Just as it is. Water, sky, and the press of sand at Park Point. This one reminds me that grace isn't something we climb toward. It's something we return to, in bare feet and simple acts. 

Inspired by the nuns, I see here in Duluth quietly going about their day. These memories have stayed with me long after they've passed by, and this summer, I needed to put them down.

Thank you for seeing this piece - 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. 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.

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

"Lake Day Ladies"

Part of the Chicken Stories Collection

In Lake Day Ladies, two chickens drift peacefully on their floaties, bobbing along the lake beneath the iconic, pine-covered cliffs of Minnesota’s North Shore. Painted from joy, this playful escape lets the hens bask in sunlight and serenity. The piece offers them a place of dignity, delight, and daydream.

Grateful to share this painting with you — 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.

Thank you for walking gently with me – Amy

"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

In "The Way She Looks at Love," a woman cradles a red hen close to her heart. Her gaze is soft, steady—full of affection. This painting is a quiet reminder that love is meant to be felt, held close, and seen. It speaks to the beauty of tenderness, showing softness is not weakness, and that vulnerability isn’t a flaw, but a form of courage.

"Chicken Stories Tell Alice" Part of the "Chicken Stories" collection

As night falls, the hens slip softly into the pages of familiar tales, quiet messengers from a world that silences more than it hears.

They carry with them the ache of confinement, a memory that doesn't fade, and a deep longing for freedom. They speak for those still hidden in the shadows of industry. One hen, heavy with remembering the nightmare, tells Alice what the others cannot. 

Still, she dreams of sunlight, of soft earth, of dignity denied to so many.

In this dreamlike hour, where story and truth blur, she finds the courage to speak. Here, under starlight, fiction bends and truth finds its way in.

We Were Holding On

Part of the "Nature of Us" Collection

Before turning to chickens and portraits, I explored the idea of people as fruits and vegetables — humanized still lifes that carried emotion through familiar forms.

In this piece, I portrayed myself as the pepper, with three peas representing my hens.

Painted during a time of loss, it reflects both mourning and the tenderness of guardianship — a meditation on care, fragility, and the quiet responsibility of love — 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 hens taking flight — and the idea that no matter where we start, we all deserve the chance to rise. It’s about freedom, friendship, and lifting each other up, even when the basket is small and the journey uncertain.

Thank you for soaring with me – Amy
