About - Rooster Song - Allison Curtis
My work combines three of my life passions: rare ornamental fowl, photography and painting. I keep a diverse flock of phoenix and yokohama mix chickens and I raise a new generation of them each season. I photograph them daily from across my yard with a 300 mm zoom lens, so I don't disturb their natural (and entertaining) behavior. Out of the thousands of photos I take, a few always stand out to me, which I then try to paint. I use their imagery as source material for exploring the deeply meditative act of art-making. I work with acrylics, colored pencils, shimmering inks, gold leaf, and various drawing materials, on mostly wood surfaces. I try to capture the beauty, bold character and unique personalities of my chickens, while exploring color, materials, anatomy, and the capabilities of my mind.
