Artist Theory and Context

"Through the simple act of painting a symbolic healthy hive of 50,000, one bee at a time, we intend to inspire an unstoppable movement of necessary change toward balance between humans and the natural world.

We are all one hive." - Matthew Willey

"The bee crisis is worldwide, and is as serious a threat as global warming, and yet it is not nearly enough of a household issue. I hope to spread awareness of bee colony collapse to a broad audience with these works, in a conceptual way that elicits a physical and emotional response in people." - Sarah Hatton

" What's happening out there is also in here."- Helen Jukes
