Kym Marsden

I’m Kym Marsden
like the bee, I gather, I create, I share —
art, food, words, and more —
while being an attentive observer of the world around me.
I’m an eco-artist working with beeswax, found materials, and plant dyes to create tactile works that invite thought and connection.
My work is instinct-led and woven with story.

Inspiration
In awe of the bee’s dance among blossoms,
bridging earth and air, carrying stories on the breeze,
I follow what calls me — drawn by texture, the scent of beeswax guiding me,
crafting meaningful expressions that spark awareness and invite contemplation.

Materials that Matter
I work primarily with natural and reclaimed finds —
though some are still a work in progress, and practices are always evolving.
I use beeswax from hives tended by my family,
sand with ancient stories, shaped by time and tide,
cloth with a past,
foliage turned to dye,
thread connecting people and time.

Where It All Began
My journey into eco art started with bee frames —
their work in the hive complete, destined for burning.
But I saw more than wood and waste:
echoes of labour, the warmth of honey, the breath of life.
With copper wire, I rethreaded them —
creating a home for sand, wax, and stories waiting to unfold.

A Humble Offering
Each piece is shaped with reverence —
whether a larger artwork or a small keepsake to treasure or gift.
Your being here is appreciated. I invite you to linger,
kindling a worthy connection into a more conscious, caring way of choosing.
