#mattlively

With roots in Virginia where he studied at Virginia Commonwealth University, Matt Lively lives in Richmond and works out of a 140-year-old barn. When not creating a diverse body fine art work for galleries or teaching art to the next generation Lively stays busy painting public projects and his popular "Beecycles" pieces can be found fluttering around Virginia. These busy bees are at Cary St and Davis Ave in Richmond and are one of the last remaining art installations from the 2013 edition of the @RVAStreetArtFest which transformed an unused trolley depot—now the site of new housing in an increasingly popular neighborhood.  @mattlively/

Matt Lively’s Beecycle mural completely transformed the area behind the Conservatory. We ❤️ it, Matt! 🐝 🚲 #beecycle #mattlively #rva #va #murals #art #rvaart (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden)

@repost @mattlively ... let’s do it again Matt!!! Throwback to a #mural I did with my good friend @hamglass . This pic is only part of it then it stretched all the way around a parking deck. Took a couple weeks then was painted over a couple of weeks later. Fun to do and can’t wait to paint up something with Ham again . . . . . #mattlively #art #throwback #contemporaryart #dmvartist #painting #rva #rvaartist #wallart #house #whosham #mlively #mural #rvaart #rva #dmv #art #artlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B3X-pgvFxF3/?igshid=18g1d767ffehz

If you are in the neighborhood, check out this “25 Zinnias” painting at @hobnobrva. @mattlively is donating 100 percent of the proceeds to Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. Thank you, Matt! Also check out the other Bee-cycle pieces that @glavekocen is selling. The artwork and the new mural look great. . . . . . #rva #rvaart #art #mattlively #beecycle #pollinators #richmondmurals (at Hobnob RVA) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2rroiHpvZB/?igshid=6o749daqu58p

We had so much fun painting with @MattLively today! Here he is sharing his artistic vision with service learning kids, staff & volunteers. The Bee-cycle mural painting continues through Friday. 🐝 #rvaart #art #mattlively (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden)

Volunteer Kit Campbell is helping out along with other staff & volunteers painting the Beecycle mural on the Conservatory headhouse. It’s a hot one for sure, but a great way to celebrate #nationalpollinatorweek #volunteers #rva #publicgardens #rvaart #mural #art #mattlively (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden)

Garden volunteers and staff are making quick progress on the mural that will cover Conservatory’s Headhouse. The “Beecycle” theme is a nod to our love of pollinators and our history as the Lakeside Wheel (bicycle) Club. Be sure to stop by and see it on your next visit. When we are finished, the Matt Lively mural will cover two sides of the building and provide a wonderful reminder of our National Pollinator Week events, which continue all week. #rva #rvaart #pollinatorweek #mural #mattlively (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden)
