home of artist Karen Hollingsworth, a former elementary school counselor and teacher. Her students shortened her name to "Mrs. H." because it took less time to say and was more fun! The Spotted Chicken Studio, established in 2006 by Karen and her husband Bob, features her original, hand drawn art, reproduced for quality greeting cards and more.

The chicken really did come first…

"December, 1999, it appeared in my art, this chicken. Interesting, since I don't collect chickens or even notice them. He/she kept returning in every drawing and insisted on staying. To this day, they continue to collect me, bringing with them the bright, happy colors you see in each design. For that reason, they will stay, and you will find a chicken in each and every design – sometimes obvious, sometimes hidden in there "somewhere" just because it wouldn't feel right to leave them out. Have fun searching for them!"

And the chicken talks…

"When Chicky showed up in my art, he came with a voice. Sometimes the voice is thought provoking, sometimes passionate and sometimes just plain sassy. You just never know… So be sure to check out the back of each 5” x 7” card for “Yours truly, Chicky.”

"I have much to say, lots to share, and I'm pretty sure it's all important… so check it out!"

Yours truly,
