Meant to Bee - A Solo Exhibition by Paige Nordstrom

Exhibition Dates: May 3, 2023 - May 27, 2023
Opening Reception: Friday, May 5 @ 5pm-7pm

A solo exhibition by artist Paige Nordstrom, a mixed media collection that shows the positive relationship between bees, nature and humanity.

My artwork incorporates a variety of mixed media elements such as acrylic, colored pencil, fabric, jewelry, textured paper, burlap and string. This type of style really challenges me, where i can take some artistic risks and be bold! Collaging is always fun to experiment with, i can do so much with it and be versatile in my artwork.

I have a deep appreciation for wildlife and nature has continued to be my inspiration for most of my work. By marrying my love for painting and collage, i have found my own whimsical style in creating charming, fantasy wildlife narratives.

Why bees? Wanted to create a series of artwork that focuses on the beauty of nature. I wanted to share awareness on the importance of bees and their connection to humanity. Bees are a symbol of hard work and new beginnings, and they are adorable! I love painting them! They have a major impact on our everyday lives. Some of the pieces featured in my series are salvaged bee frames by bee farmers-which helped further inspire the creation of this new series. A world without bees would look very different. I hope this collection will help to inspire and remind us that they were meant to bee.
