More Precious Than Gold, encaustic, oil stick, and gold leaf on panel, 16 x 16 inches

ARTIST STATEMENT:

“More Precious Than Gold” is a tribute to the bee and offers critical commentary on the human quest for wealth in the face of declining bee populations during our global warming crisis. Using beeswax and gold leaf is central to this painting’s message as is the magnified image of the bee. The truth is clearly before us and is quite simple: a third of the world’s food production depends on bees therefore we must reconsider what is truly valuable and take action as if life depended on it….because it does.
