Like the layers of the food chain in the natural world, Fancy Food Chain by Jada Fitch displays a hierarchy designed to be devoured. In jewel-like colors and detailed structure, the three sets of varied fictional animals come to life in a combination of graphite, watercolor and colored pencil. Each creature’s features are based on successful traits of existing life, but as imagined by the artist’s mind, sometimes with surprising results.

The opening reception will be Fri., Dec. 7, 5-8 p.m., at The Green Hand Bookshop, 661 Congress Street, Portland.
