What's the buzz?

Hard to believe that it was a year ago when I had the pleasure of filming the Bring Back the Monarchs art awareness events, created by Libba Tracey at the Black Mountain Center for the Arts. Bring Back the Monarchs was designed to raise awareness about the threat of species collapse in the Monarch  butterfly population and the simple steps that people can take to help the Monarchs survive. It was great fun to capture children from three different schools trying on their butterfly wings, migrating from the Town Square to the arts center, and learning about the Monarch butterfly life cycle. Happy that the video I made was shown at the Black Mountain Board of Alderman meeting and helped convince town leaders to make Black Mountain a butterfly corridor, increasing the types of plants Monarchs' need to survive. You can see the video on my sample work page.

This fall's program looks at the role of bees in our lives and the ways in which their existence is also in danger. A month-long bee awareness event, What's the Buzz about Bees? began last week with an art exhibit showcasing more than 25 artists working in a wide range of mediums from water color to oil and glass, all featuring one or more of the worlds 20,000 bee species. It is a gorgeous show. I hope you can check it out.
