Matt Willey, Artist
Join us to find out how Matt Willey became inspired to hand-paint 50,000 honey bees in murals around the world and how this passion has changed his life. In the last six years he has created 32 murals and installations featuring more than 8,500 hand-painted bees, collaborating with many organizations. From large-scale works at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington DC, to a Tony Winning Broadway star’s dressing room in NYC, and even in downtown Raleigh at the Museum of Natural Sciences’ Nature Research Center, he has reached hundreds of thousands of people with his murals and message.
