For today's #ArtAdventCalendar I present: all the bees I painted last year for the first annual #Septembee, a self-made challenge in which I paint a new bee every day for a month. In 2024 I focused on bees found in Colorado.

Hallo flipping.rocks! I am ater, of @ater fame, and I'm very excited to be here while my home server moves (like, physically).

For an #introduction, I am a blind visual artist and author, with a master's in wildlife ecology and a special interest in bees. You've just missed my self created challenge #SeptemBee, where I paint a different #bee every day for the entire month alongside the #SciArtSeptember prompt. Here are my four favorites.

I am also a self-published author, with an emphasis on environmental themes and disabled/neurodiverse characters. All of my books are available free, from https://books2read.com/ap/R5ojKB/Liz-Boysha or my website https://ater.neocities.org/books/mybooks
