Bee Daniel - November 2024

Bee is a 35 year old trans woman with thick eyebrows and a big mouth. Born and raised in western Maine she moved to Portland at age 18, tried art school but went broke and quit to write graffiti and play in bands. She worked on art however and whenever she could, often times for quick money to stay afloat, but learned many different mediums as a result. She helped found New Fruit, a studio space/venue/ print shop and collective in 2014 and was able to learn from and work alongside many renowned artists both local and national. Her graffiti past eventually lead her to learn sign painting and mural work. She has since installed large scale murals all over the country, both of her own works and the works of her peers.
