It’s no wonder we look to honeybees for inspiration. They buzz about their work, filling an irreplaceable role that goes mostly unnoticed, and are truly amazing little creatures. I always try to include bee-friendly plants and flowers in my garden and for a long time I’ve dreamt of becoming a backyard beekeeper. Welcome to Honeycomb Hill! All the delight of bees, without the stings. I hope this bee-autiful collection of florals, beehives, bees, honeycombs, and gingham, in soft but lively colors will be a sweet addition to your own irreplaceable work.

Designer:
Katherine Lenius
I’m Katherine, an illustrator and surface pattern designer living outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I grew up drawing on just about any surface I could find, including the walls. I followed other paths but later rediscovered my love of art and picked up my pencil again.
I love to create joyful art for the everyday. I envision warm, approachable designs that are also fresh and modern. My illustrations and designs are homegrown and have roots in the past but with a contemporary sensibility. My dream is that my designs and illustrations can once again find their place on a number of surfaces. I’m often inspired by what’s in my own backyard: nature, gardens, everyday objects, vintage textiles, children’s picture books, and my own three children.
My work is a combination of traditional media (pencil, ink, & watercolor) and digital. I especially enjoy designing for fabric, stationery, greeting cards, wall art, home decor, and children’s art.
