Cluck! Cluck! It's chickens and gardening season my friends which makes this the perfect time for me to introduce you to artist/ author and chicken keeper Sarah Rosedahl. I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah at the Northeastern Poultry Congress last year. Her whimsical chicken art caught my eye right away and made me smile.
Sarah Rosedahl is an artist and recovering software
engineer. After a 25 year hiatus from
creating art, while working as an engineer in Silicon Valley, Sarah
rediscovered her passion for art through a community art class in San Jose, CA;
watercolor classes at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Art; and ceramic classes at
Hands In Clay, New Orleans. Sarah moved to Vermont’s Champlain Islands in 2012,
inherited a few chickens from friends, raised more chickens, started painting
chickens and then wrote, illustrated and published
“Chickens! Illustrated Chicken Breeds A to Z”. Many of the chickens featured in the book are modeled after Sarah’s small mixed flock of whimsical hens that include Chipmunk and Olive (Ameraucana), An (Cochin), Betty White (Brahma), Little Zelda (Hamburg), Big Zelda (Sicilian Buttercup), Shakey and Janet (Wyandotte) and Big Wilhelmina and Little Wilhelmina (Welsummer).
