Selected Works from Beekeepers
The Beekeeper series explores different facets of the beekeeping industry from honey harvest to monoculture pollination to fighting the diseases that threaten our complex relationship with the honeybee and its very existence. Each painting deals with a unique aspect of the industry and maintains an accuracy to detail specific to the act that is taking place. Yet, the overall image resides far beyond a mere survey of an industry. Instead, a process as routine as the pollination of an almond orchard becomes a chimerical act that will question the viewers understanding of what is normal and what is abnormal of our relationship to the natural world.
