The story of the “Shattered Chicken” series began as an unexpected twist of creativity. I was preparing for a last-minute artist pop-up, frantically painting piece after piece, when I hit a creative wall. With no clear plan, I decided to simply let the brush guide me, layering colors and shapes until, almost by accident, the original blue-gray chicken emerged.

At first, I thought it was, well, ugly. But my husband saw something in it and encouraged me to include it in the pop-up. To my surprise, it was the first piece to sell! The buyer graciously allowed me to display it throughout the event, and it quickly became a crowd favorite, sparking conversations and turning heads.

That day, the “Shattered Chicken” found its wings. Inspired by its unexpected success, I received a few commission requests—with the promise that each piece would be unique. The result? “Shattered Orpington” (lime green) and Vibrant Shattered Bantam (bright red-orange), two vibrant, stained-glass-style chickens that now complete the trio. Each painting captures the lively energy and spirit of these birds in a way I never imagined when I first picked up the brush.
