Owen Wittekindt

Owen has been drawing since he was able to hold a crayon. Always gravitating towards animals as his subject matter, he developed a love for the natural world. Over the last several years he has learned a lot about honeybees and beekeeping, and was excited to participate in a book that would pass on some of the amazing facts about bees to young readers.  Getting a Bachelors in Biology from the University of Michigan, and then spending several years as an entertainer on cruise ships with The Second City, he still found time to keep drawing animals. He started Three of Hearts Creations, and his work has been on display in various juried art fairs in the Midwest, where he specializes in pen and ink micro-dot stippling.  Owen lives in Saline, Michigan with his queen bee Rebecca, stepson Alex, their two cats Walle and Eva, and, you guessed it, lots of bees!
