🐝Did you know? It takes the working life of 12 Honeybees to make a teaspoon of honey… 🍯
Guest Artist for October is fascinated by Bees and gains great satisfaction knowing her artwork is generating awareness towards promoting their importance.
Louise mostly uses a technique called Mezzotint, an intaglio process using a toothed tool to create thousands of tiny pits and burrs that hold ink. This creates a deep richness to blacks and a delightful fuzziness to the bees.
Her work has been selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and featured on the covers of bumblebee ecologist, Dave Goulson’s books, ‘A Sting in the Tale’ and ‘A Buzz in the Meadow’.
We have framed and unframed original artworks, cards, posters, enamel mugs, bookmarks and handy pocket guides to the 8 most commonly found British Bumblebees.
Louise’s work will be with us throughout October - please make sure you don’t miss this beautiful exhibition!
