I’m excited to announce that a small series of my work is in a new venue, a bee keeping shop! The store is called Bee Thinking and it turns out that it’s actually owned and run by a guy I knew from high school (if you knew the size of my school was you’d realize how unusual that is) Matt Reed and his wife Jill. I was wandering around the neighborhood one day after dropping art off at the Love Art! Gallery and stopped in to see if they had any wax to sell because I wanted to start making my own medium. It turned out they weren’t selling wax, but I realized that this was Matt’s store I had seen on Facebook. Later he asked if I’d be interested in putting some pieces in the shop because paintings made from beeswax might be a good fit in a bee keeping shop. I dropped off a small series of three paintings, got to talking with Matt about bee keeping and am now totally obsessed with the idea of not only making my own paints, but harvesting wax from my own bee hives! I highly recommend stopping by the store to learn more about bees, hives, buy some delicious honey, and maybe take home one of my paintings while you’re there 🙂
