Queen of the Nile

Queen of The Nile is the first of the Egyptian Queen Series which pays tribute to one
of Egypt’s best known Queens, Cleopatra. This piece was inspired by a love for Egyptian
history and Hieroglyphic paintings on papyrus. Lotus flowers are a reoccurring theme in
Egyptian writing and she is portrayed here holding a couple of fronds in her hands. Her
throne is painted with acrylic paints, gold foiled and stitched with decorative threads.
The Egyptian hieroglyphics seen in the four cartouches were stamped with gold paint
and outline stitched to give more definition. The large cartouche pictured in lapis behind
her spells out perhaps the greatest Egyptian Queen of all, Cleopatra. Custom framed in curly maple wood.
