Embroideries of honey bees by artist Heather Talbot.
I started beekeeping after taking a course in early 2014 and since then the bees have become a kind of muse for me. I am so fascinated and inspired by them. Whenever I learn something new about them it only leads me to want to know more. The bees are so vital to our own survival as a species. Its very important that we learn to value them, treat them with respect and reverence, and support them by creating environmental conditions that are conducive to their flourishing. We each need to play a part in this and my work is designed to highlight their majesty and engender this kind of reverence.
I will post new works in this series as they are completed.

Embroideries and photographs by artist Heather Talbot.
When I go out for bike rides, walks or kayaking in nature I am always so drawn to the macro worlds around me- the verdant mosses, the rich textures of bark, the small communities of fungi and flowers. I wanted to make a series of work celebrating these, what I call, magical worlds within our own world.
