Resplendent: bees stitched with gold thread

Above is a close up image of Resplendent: Queen Bee. It’s made with layers of paint and graphite that are stitched together with an embroidered bee. This work and the Resplendent: Attendants are available at The Hardy Gallery through August 29. Purchase information can be found here. You can also contact the gallery. Both pieces were inspired by ancient jewelry designs and the resplendent beauty of honey bees.
