About

“I began working as an art activist in 2015 with a mission of painting 50,000 honey bees in murals around the world. My goal was to raise awareness about the importance of these incredible creatures. As I began to paint these murals, some things became clear very quickly. First, informing the public about pollinator and pollination issues is no small feat. It takes tenacity, perseverance, creativity and epic amounts of optimism. Next, I noticed that it wasn’t just bees. There is a cavernous (and widening) gap between people and every aspect of the natural world. But at the same time, I noticed that the murals were bridging this gap just as a connection with one tiny bee in 2008 had. Donne for me.

Forces of Nature Gallery is a result of that realization. The gallery offers people the opportunity to collect original artwork focusing on the environment, while supporting artists to continue their crucial work. Just as The Good of the Hive began with one mural and is now on the 34th, Forces of Nature Gallery is beginning with a showing of my first installation of the initiative and will expand to a program of many artists over time. Forces of Nature Gallery will soon be populated by artwork, visual dialogue, ideas and artists using every facet of creativity, artistry and design for the good of the planet and the beings on it. I believe that artists are a force of nature… especially when they are supported to their fullest potential.”
