Did You Know?
Chickens are far more intelligent than they get credit for—they can recognize over 100 faces, both human and animal, and can even see ultraviolet light! These social and curious birds also have over 30 different vocalizations, each with a distinct meaning.
With every piece I create, my goal is not only to inspire and entertain but also to educate—embedding fascinating facts like these directly into my artwork.
For this Farmhouse Chicken piece, I carefully selected words like clever, yardbird, and protective, along with phrases such as “can fly short distances,” “dream when they sleep,” and “taste with their beaks.” In total, you’ll find over 50 words and phrases hidden within the design, each one celebrating the charm and intelligence of these beloved farmyard birds.
Every piece of my art is digitally hand-drawn, one letter at a time, with no word or phrase ever repeated. Depending on the complexity, each artwork takes between 6 and 60 hours to complete.
I truly hope this piece brings you as much joy as I had in creating it!
