  • BANKSIA BEE HYLAEUS ALCYONEUS (Print)

    $55.00
    This piece is a study of one of the most fascinating Australian native bees. They have the most distinctive bright yellow markings on the face and across the shoulders and a dark metallic blue abdomen.  Another peculiarity of this species is the territorial behaviour of males in Banksia flowers.  It would be a hard task for males to find Banksia bee females, mainly because they nest such diverse locations. However, females visit Banksia flowers to gather pollen and nectar and that is where they can both meet for mating.  Open edition print. Signed and unnumbered.

    BLUE BANDED BEE (Print)

    $55.00
    This piece is a study of one of the most beautiful Australian native bees. They have the most unmistakable bands of metallic blue fur across their black abdomens. Another peculiarity of this species is that they are solitary bees and females build their nest burrows close to each other but not in a hive. They also perform a special pollination movement called “buzz pollination”, which is very important for the conservation of quite a few native flowers. Hopefully this information illustrates what attracts me to this subject matter.   I painted this piece along with the Cloak and Dagger Cuckoo Bee which is also a native Australian bee. These two species happen to be intertwined as the Cuckoo Bee lays its eggs in the Blue Banded bee’s nest to feed on their developing larvae.  All these relationships are what fascinates me about nature and they serve as my inspiration for my paintings.

    CLOAK AND DAGGER CUCKOO BEE (Print)

    $55.00
    This piece is a study of one of the most astonishing Australian native bees. They have glittering metallic blues spots on their abdomen. Although Cloak and Dagger Cuckoo bees are indescribably beautiful, they lead a life that we might perceive to be deceitful because they lay their eggs in other bees' nests, particularly the Blue Banded Bee. Because of this symbiotic relationship, I decided to paint these two different species in individual artworks while at the same time complementing each other. Open edition print.
