Funky Chicken Art of C.E.Harrison
10 02 10 - 13:15
C. E. Harrison is a self taught southern Folk Artist from Georgia. Her work has been collected all over the United States. She lives a quiet life with her husband, son, 2 dogs, over 80 chickens, Taylor Turkey, and a couple of geese - Lucy Goosey and Zander Gander. The chickens number the most, and so Harrison became the "Mama Hen"!
Harrison says, " My animals give me a lot of my inspiration,but I also rely on my Southern heritage and the many stories I grew up listening to, to come up with my creations!"
"I love color, and I paint on any and everything. In this age of recycling I have a hard time throwing things away, so if I can see the art in something I go to creating. My favorite times are when I can sit under the shade tree, my feathery friends running all around me, and paint."
Of course, she paints more than just chickens. Visit her website at mamahenfolkart to discover more fun and funky art. There you can find pieces that are currently for sell, and find out more about C. E. Harrison.
