Alleman Celebrates National Pollinator Week, June 18 - 24 |
6/16/2012 - . Nationally Recognized Conservation Artist Celebrates National Pollinator Week
Tucson AZ based sculptor, Carol Alleman will celebrate National Pollinator Week, June 18 - 24 releasing her newest bronze vessel, Nature's Bounty – a small bronze vessel of white clover with a single pollinating honeybee. The white clover plant is a vital and nourishing source of nectar and pollen for the struggling honeybee. Her 2011 release of Celestial Joy celebrates the black-chinned hummingbird (another important pollinator) amidst a brilliantly radiant cluster of wild, orange alpine lilies. Alleman, an established sculptor well known for her nature inspired museum quality bronze vessels, is an ever-growing advocate for conservation efforts. Raised on a small farm in rural Lancaster County, PA Alleman grew up with many hives of honeybees consistently pollinating the diverse and abundant crops, including a vibrant orchard on the farm. Her paternal grandfather was the beekeeper in those days while her brother continues the tradition today.
