Backyard Chickens

Photography for saleI took this photo in our backyard when we lived in Portland, Oregon.  I love the backdrop of the pots stacked up from the fall clean-up.  The brown chicken’s name is Heart, and it is an Americana breed of chicken; my youngest daughter named her.

The black and white chicken is named Sally, named by my oldest daughter; she is a Plymouth Rock breed.  She is probably the tamest chicken I have ever seen. My daughter holds her like a baby and rocks her to sleep.  When not being rocked to sleep, she follows the kids around the yard, begging for food and attention.


I’m the owner of Benham Design Concepts, a mixed media art studio where I design and build custom furniture and other works of art using wood, glass, stone, and various metals.
In this blog, I talk about the art I create, my journey, and the things I learn along the way.
