Graphic Design & Illustration

I work with local radio stations, bands, indie labels, authors, publishers, arts centers and individuals and enjoy the challenge of finding fresh and entertaining ways to create unique images tailored to my clients’ needs.

My stylistic loves and influences include prehistoric art; ancient art; indigenous art; classic Looney Tunes cartoons (Phillip de Guard’s backgrounds are genius); Saul Bass; Charley Harper; Alvin Lustig; art nouveau; art deco; German Expressionism; Ukiyo-e; Hergé; Chris Ware; punk rock flyers & album art; punk and rock & roll fashion; the surrealists Carrington, Fini & Varo; Inuit, Tlingit, Haida and Kawkiutl sculpture and graphic arts; nature… the list is endless. And often I’m simply inspired by shapes in everyday life and conversations with friends.

Some nice things clients have said about working with me can be found here: testimonials.

I have a few online/print-on-demand shops –  As of late, I’ve had to remove my works from these sites as they are continuously appropriated. I am happy to make items available as requested. Much of my work is also available as digital prints – please inquire at queenlib@gmail.com if you’re interested!

I have shown my work as a juried artist at Anthocon in New Hampshire; at the Gallery at the Wauregan in Norwich, CT, both in a solo and in group shows; Mitchell College Library; Artspace in Willimantic, CT; Hygienic Art in New London, CT; at the NE Author’s Expo in Danvers, MA; at Nasty Women art shows in New Haven; co-created the Arcane Alchemy art show at CREATE in NY with Kate Laity.

I have won the 2014 CLA (CT Library Association) Publicity Award for the category of “Print Media – Library Logo, In-House Design.”
