“My name is Madison Latimer (though some refer to me as The Chicken Lady), and I live on a farm in the rolling hills of the Piedmont of South Carolina. From my backyard/barnyard, I paint stories of creation, disappointment, and survival. “Me and the chickens” celebrate life every day. If ya’ll are hearing something laughing and it’s not you, trust me, it’s just us chickens dancing and singing in the barnyard.

With paintings of guinea foul and roosters, I capture their spirits, laughter, and zest for life. I bring to you the reminder of kindness and simple joys of life. We all celebrate life as human beings. My art says, “Folks, take pride in who you are, laugh, and be nice to one another, but above all ‘Celebrate life’ past, present and future. Now is what we’ve got.”

“My art exudes energy and is a celebration of life, and the overwhelming condition of the human spirit. My art seemed to begin with the death of three relatives that were killed in a ten-wheeler accident in 1995. Through the healing I began to understand and feel the connection with the energy that provides life for all of us. I began to be aware that we are all connected here in the present time to something greater, connected to an eternal force from which we all come. My purpose for this world began to express itself through my art.” – Madison Latimer
