“I am completely obsessed with bumblebees, so of course I fell instantly in love with Christopher Owen Smith’s nature-inspired charcoal drawings. Smith’s use of charcoal is what is truly unique about his work - it gives his drawings a somewhat smudged, almost messy quality that perfectly captures the fuzzy texture of bees’ bodies and simultaneously works to blur their outlines, freezing their swift movements in time. Somehow, Smith captures exactly what I love about bees in his naturalistic but still playful prints; they are chaotic but beautiful, agile, and lively.”
— Kevin Sharkey, Executive Director of Design for Martha Stewart Brand, Home Design and Decor
