Most people aren't aware that chickens make fabulous pets or that there is an incredible range of weird and wonderful-looking fowl out there. So have a look at some of the strange characters that I have met and painted over the years - some are my own and others are from the Sydney Royal Easter Show poultry pavilion.

I live in the Jervis Bay area and work as a writer, painter and photographer. Although I love drawing chickens, I also spend a lot of time painting still life compositions. I have had 3 solo exhibitions and been involved in 11 group exhibitions.

I am the proud owner of a small tribe of Chinese Silky bantam hens.
