ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Elizabeth, England’s queen from 1558 until her death at age 69 in 1603, was the daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, whom her father had beheaded when Elizabeth was 3 years old. Often referred to as the “Virgin Queen”—because she never married—Elizabeth became queen at age 25 and had already led a life filled with political and palace intrigue, including a year’s imprisonment in the Tower of London, and rumors of romantic liaisons—all of which continued throughout her 44-year reign. Many people believe she never married so that she could maintain control of her country, but lack of a husband did not forestall her from being a flirt, and she loved the attention accorded to her as the monarch. Well-educated and an accomplished writer and speaker, she is considered one of England’s greatest monarchs, providing the country with enough stability that literature and the arts flourished. I have drawn her here in her later years, well past the flower of youth and beauty.

~ My paintings have been published in 6 books: ~ "Winter 2015 Art Auction" by Shan Peck ~ "Spring 2016 Art Auction" by Shan Peck ~ "Arts Sports Politics Science--Portraits of Famous People" by Shan Peck ~ "Africa" by Shan Peck ~ "Children's Illustrations" by Shan Peck ~ "196+1 Artwork" by Shan Peck. I also served as Shan's editor on 3 of the books. ~ I was born and raised in the Midwest in the mid-1940’s, graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a B.A. in Theater (concentrations in musical theatre performance and costume design), then moved to Los Angeles in 1976 where I lived most of my adult life. At age 40, while working full-time at night and raising a son by myself, I returned to school and earned a Professional Certificate–Summa Cum Laude in Fashion Design; one of my designs won second place in the 1987 "Suit of the Future" national design contest. ~ In 2014, at age 68, I turned my creative focus from acting, singing and dancing to drawing & painting. I often create dimension in my art with fabric, apparel trim, feathers, jewelry, Swarovski rhinestones & beads, and paper collage. My style is realistic yet often whimsical and I hope my sense of humor comes through in my work because . . . well, because life is just . . . FUNNY!
