VERTIN GALLERY EXHIBITION

Calumet, Mi. - The Vertin Gallery is pleased to present, “Wintering – Into the Hive”, Encaustic and Beeswax installation by artist Melissa Hronkin and her Bees.
“Wintering Into the Hive” represents the time in winter we go inward, a time of repose and solitude, and for Hronkin , her most productive art-making time. The 2 and 3 dimensional encaustic and beeswax collage installation also represents Hronkin’s hope that this project will bring awareness to the recent plight of the honeybee and it’s surrounding industry.
Ms. Hronkin holds an MA in Art Education, MFA in Visual Studies, BFA in Photography and Drawing and an Art Education Endorsement K-12, in Michigan. She is currently the Art Educator for the Ontonagon Area School District.
