“Hot House” by Andover artist, educator and curator Helen Popinchalk is on display through Saturday, Dec 21, at SJ Art Consulting, 43 Washington St., Haverhill.
The gallery says the exhibit “showcases Popinchalk’s fusion of screen printing, gelatin printing, drawing, and collage on paper, creating vibrant compositions that delve into the world as seen by bees and pollinators.” Popinchalk’s art uses UV-sensitive materials that illuminate unseen floral markers guiding bees to nectar. Organizers add, “Through vivid color studies, Hot House celebrates nature’s beauty, inviting viewers to explore the often-invisible layers of the natural world.”
Popinchalk is a third-generation beekeeper, embracing her family’s tradition with five beehives, connecting her personal and artistic life to the pollinators that inspire her work.
