Honey

This work was inspired by the interconnectedness we have with all living things around us and especially the honeybee. My poem “Honey” accompanies this work: “My lazy summer day drifts by as I rest between the apple trees, slung in a hammock, shaded and jaded by leaves and life. A time-out, a brief respite, reading a book as the bees drone here, buzz there - exploring, collecting, nurturing their queen and her young. Were I their queen, I’d give them a day off from making all that golden honey, a reward for being so seriously loyal and focused. I wonder what my bees would do for fun with their free day in the sun?” My Zenworks express my love of pen and ink and a desire to meld free-flow poetry with abstract imagery created through spontaneous strokes and repetitive patterns. Zenworks emerge via a tranquil, meditative process that frees me to explore and experiment with line, shape and colour.
