My Background

I have always been a bird lover since I found out birds exist. My first pet was Tony, a blue budgie (and my brother had Chirpy). Since then, I've been a bird watcher and many times over a bird owner. It was in 2017 that my family got our first flock of 4 chickens and the business Je Ne Sais Cluck was born from the need to have family portraits of each of our gals. Peepen, my logo bird was an immediate favorite with her charisma and posing skills. After these original drawings were accomplished, and I realized the amazing varieties of chickens that exist. (Beards and hairdos?! Count me in!) I also realized that chicken owners absolutely love their chickens with their big and individual personalities. I made it a mission to discover and draw as many completely different birds that I could find. Including backyard birds.

I was formally trained in painting at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD) with a minor in drawing and sculpture. I believe I've finally found the perfect use for my degree. :)

I love drawing chicken portraits. I also enjoy spreading the love of others' feathered or furry pets by making custom pet portraits for them.

I hope you enjoy my site.

This is a custom portrait of a cockatiel that I was working on. His name is Raisin.

My Background

As a general goal, I draw chicken portraits to spread the love for chickens. Chickens are amazing birds that don't get much credit.

Most people who first visit my farmers market stands had no idea how amazing they are. Besides the amazing variety in their breeds and the beauty and intense design of their feather patterns, they're pretty dang smart! (Did you know that you can clicker train a chicken?) Plus, they make sweet and loving pets. I consider mine to be like little feathered dogs.

Aside from that, I know that people love all of their pets and enjoy them as individuals as well. That's why I'm always happy to get commissioned to draw custom pet portraits.

Art and design are my loves and I strive to make each portrait that I make beautiful, even if you don't know my model personally!

This is me with our Silver Laced Wyandotte hen named Neptune on my shoulder. We have 5 chickens.

My Inspiration

I'm inspired mainly by my own pet chickens. They're so fun and I love to see what they think of my drawings of them and of other birds. Usually they will do a quick to check that there's not a rest of the bird body behind my paper. I love that and feel like the drawing is at least that successful when that happens, haha.

I also enjoy looki

I also enjoy looking at chicken portraits on the internet. They almost always get a smile and/or a laugh out of me.

Custom pet portraits are a need in society as well. I still think of all of my old pets that I've had with fondness and have drawn some of them to honor their memory.

The art and design of a portrait is a carefully thought out composition. There are the classic goals of movement of the eye through the composition, good use of color, variety of strokes, etc. When it comes down to it, I want my art to translate as beautiful regardless of the subject.
