People define success as winning the lottery
but winning the lottery is a very rare chance
you’re less likely to win a lottery than start a successful business;
Success is waking up bright and early in the morning
(despite the mental illness)
Success is BELIEVING something is impossible,
but then, in reality, it turns out…. you can do it.
Success is displaying your love to a person
even if their response is not the one you want
Success begins within you,
You define your limitations

Bee is a 20-year-old artist from Devon, and is currently studying a Ba(Hons) in Illustration at The University of Edinburgh. She has been working primarily as an illustration based artist for the past three years, although she has dabbled in a variety of the arts throughout her life.
Bee’s art primarily explores provocative themes of eroticism, mysticism, sexuality, feminism and politics, and she is passionate about evoking feeling in others within her work. Bee takes inspiration from the likes of Tracey Emin, Egon Schiele, Kaethe Butcher and Liselotte Watkins – all of whom have distinct and equally unique styles and methods of working within their individual mediums. Bee strives to depict striking, fierce images of goddess-like women, and through them, empower and inspire her audience.
