A bumblebee poised above a ring of New England asters — both native species, rendered in close, unhurried detail. Hand-illustrated in acrylic.
Printed as a museum-quality giclee — a fine art inkjet process using archival pigment inks that resist fading for decades. Available unframed, matted, or framed in solid American oak with shatterproof UV-protective plexiglass. Sizes from 5×7 to 11×14.
Original artwork by Cee Thorketil.
A note from the artist
I have a special appreciation for these fuzzy little wonders, their peaceful, slow dance from flower to flower sets a relaxed mood for summer days. They are extremely effective pollinators, far more than the non-native honeybees, due to their ability to vibrate their bodies quickly to release pollen. It is called buzz pollination! Some really important crops, like tomatoes and blueberries, can only be pollinated this way. So, if you love pizza and blueberry smoothies, save the bees by support organic and regenerative farmers! 💚
