Her interest in art never waned and she even toyed with the idea of pursuing it as a career. But by the time she became a student at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she\u2019d had a change of heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI chose arts education as my major after getting cold feet about making a living as a fine artist,\u201d says Bee. She taught in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system from 1964\u20131968 after graduating from college. After that, she taught at Norfolk Academy in Virginia through 1971. Teaching, it turned out, was a good choice for her. \u201cI absolutely <i>loved<\/i> teaching children. I feel like my work (today) reflects the wonderful images that they created.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She was about to be pulled in a different creative direction when a friend convinced her to try her hand at the floral business.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-6-copy-V.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4705\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-6-copy-V.jpg\" alt=\"The Laurel of Asheville Cover Artist: Bee Sieburg\" width=\"436\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-6-copy-V.jpg 436w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-6-copy-V-202x300.jpg 202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/a>\u201cEveryone in Tarboro could \u2018do flowers,\u2019\u201d explains Bee. \u201cIt was something that we didn\u2019t really think about too much\u2014we just always had flowers in the house, helped with church flowers, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bee\u2019s friend was a caterer. \u201cShe got tired of placing her beautiful food presentations beside \u2018stiff\u2019 flower arrangements,\u201d says Bee. \u201cShe talked me into doing flowers.\u201d Her first job was decorating a yacht club on the Maryland shore. \u201cI kept forgetting things and used up all of my profit by paying the toll so many times as I went back and forth across the Bay Bridge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She admits she really knew nothing about the business but says she was a tireless worker and considered it to be an adventure. \u201cI quickly found two friends to help me, including one who had a beautiful garden. We used her garden flowers as well as \u2018side of the road\u2019 flowers.\u201d Hence her eventual business name: Wildflowers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-3-copy-V.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4704\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-3-copy-V.jpg\" alt=\"The Laurel of Asheville Cover Artist: Bee Sieburg\" width=\"436\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-3-copy-V.jpg 436w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-3-copy-V-202x300.jpg 202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/a>She continued in business from 1979 to 1985 when she moved to Winston-Salem, bringing the Wildflowers business concept with her. Here she partnered with her good friend Tillie Willis. \u201cWe did all kinds of events, making it up as we went along,\u201d says Bee. \u201cWe had lots of energy and creativity going for us!\u201d She says they often had their kids ride in the back of the van and hold large topiaries and flower arrangements. Bee hastens to add, \u201cThat was before the seatbelt laws!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When she and her husband moved to St. Louis, Wildflowers also moved with them. \u201cI called on the best caterers in the city and got a job with one. So we were off. I hired a wonderful crew and we ended up working most every weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 1997, her husband\u2019s job required yet another move, this time to Asheville. \u201cI was tired and wanted to rest awhile,\u201d says Bee. \u201cBut I saw that wonderful cottage in Biltmore Village and it called my name!\u201d She opened The Gardener\u2019s Cottage and encouraged her daughter Molly Courcelle to join her there. \u201cShe managed the shop, my friend Telia Blackard brought in antiques, and I did the flowers. What fun!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-2-V.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4703\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-2-V.jpg\" alt=\"The Laurel of Asheville Cover Artist: Bee Sieburg\" width=\"436\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-2-V.jpg 436w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-2-V-202x300.jpg 202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/a>By 2004, both she and Molly decided it was time to sell the business. \u201cMolly was going to have her first baby, and I had just gone through chemotherapy for Stage III breast cancer.\u201d She and her daughter found some wonderful buyers, and the Cottage is still going strong today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy experience with cancer, as strange as it sounds, was a real blessing and had many silver linings. Molly and I would have our best \u2018store meetings\u2019 during chemo at the cancer center where it was quiet and beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No sooner had they sold the Cottage than Bee rented space in the Wedge Studios in the River Arts District. \u201cI was happy to be back to painting, my first love, never expecting to sell a thing. I just wanted to be painting.\u201d Molly, a painting major from Wake Forest University, soon joined her mother in another studio in the Wedge. \u201cLife is good!\u201d exclaims Bee.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-1-copy_V.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4702\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-1-copy_V.jpg\" alt=\"The Laurel of Asheville Cover Artist: Bee Sieburg\" width=\"436\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-1-copy_V.jpg 436w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-1-copy_V-202x300.jpg 202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/a>Bee\u2019s preferred medium is oil on canvas and board, and says she draws her inspiration from everything around her. \u201cI take my camera with me wherever I go, whether to Europe or Fairview. I stop to take photos all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She adds that the animals from her childhood experiences continue to be important to her. \u201cI am also inspired by beautiful scenes of the landscape, interiors of friends\u2019 homes, broken-down houses, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, however, Bee says she didn\u2019t paint any floral scenes for many years. When I asked her why, she responded, \u201cIt took some time for me to feel as if I could capture flowers in paint because I knew them so well. I enjoy painting flowers, but do not find that they \u2018fall off the brush\u2019 like my animals do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><a href=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-Artist-copy-V.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4708\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-Artist-copy-V.jpg\" alt=\"The Laurel of Asheville Cover Artist: Bee Sieburg\" width=\"436\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-Artist-copy-V.jpg 436w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Cover_Artist-Bee_Sieburg-Artist-copy-V-202x300.jpg 202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/a>You can see more of Bee Sieburg\u2019s paintings online at <a href=\"http:\/\/beesieburg.com\" target=\"_blank\">beesieburg.com<\/a>, and in Asheville at The Gardeners Cottage, Woolworth Walk, K2 Gallery, in Francie Hargrove Interiors in Cashiers, Northern Parker Interiors in Banner Elk, and Three French Hens in Charlotte.
