Love Is Our Future
This is a homage to my brave, bold and beautiful daughter, Eva, who has never shied away from living life as her authentic self.

This painting is based off of a poster that she made at age 11 for a protest. Here, the colors here are more vibrant as she has blossomed over the years. I have always loved her imagery and message: LOVE IS OUR FUTURE. NO HATE, NO FEAR. This work inspires me to remain hopeful and never give up the quest for a world where everyone is equal and can live and love as their true selves.

Colors – SOLD
An aspiring artist since she could pick up a crayon and improve the color of our walls, Mikey was thrilled to have an opportunity to have her work on display at Queen B. This piece is a wonderful illustration of Mikey’s inner aura. Full of life, joy, and expression, and messy in the most beautiful way.

My House Is Me and I Am It. – SOLD
The piece is inspired by a children’s book that is dear to my heart, “The Big Orange Splot,” written by Daniel Pinkwater in 1977. The book introduces the concept of individuality, respecting others’ differences, and the courage to live authentically.
Read More...
Mr. Plumbean lives on a “neat street” where everything looks the same. When Mr. Plumbean’s house is splashed with a big orange splot, instead of painting it back, he turns his house into a colorful reflection of himself. As the neighborhood calls him crazy, one neighbor decides to speak to Mr. Plumbean about why he painted his house differently. Soon the whole neighborhood is full of colorful, unique houses.
The world becomes so bright and colorful when everyone decides being who they are is what matters. Dare to live out loud, even when the world expects sameness. If you do not understand someone, ask instead of judging them.
Jennifer Bayley – SOLD
This piece is a gentle, colorful reminder of how small gestures can make a big impact. Each vibrant capsule reflects the hues of the rainbow, symbolizing pride, diversity, and love.
Read More...
Inside every capsule is a small note of encouragement—simple messages that let someone know they are seen, valued, and cared for. As the mother of a queer child, this effort carries deeper meaning: it’s a quiet act of advocacy, a celebration of identity, and a way to make the world feel just a little more welcoming.
Maria Sulli – SOLD
Live Magically
This piece is about embracing your inner magic, your inner self, and living authentically. The bold colors show the vibrancy of spirit while the cat is a representation of individuality. We are only able to truly shine when we work to embrace memories both painful and joyful.
Greg Brooks – SOLD

Opening Doors of Opportunity
My artwork draws inspiration from quilt maker Heather Kojan’s piece, “Doors Wide Open,” exploring the powerful metaphor of open doorways as symbols of possibility and personal freedom. Open doors serve as a means to follow your heart, embrace new opportunities and adventures through your own unique journey.

You Are Loved
Everyone, no matter who they are or who they love, deserves to live fully and proudly in the moment. Life moves so fast, and if we spend all our time worrying about what others think, we miss out on the beauty right in front of us.

Everyone, no matter who they are or what they identify as, deserves to live comfortably and proudly in the moment.
Live in the moment and don’t stress, but keep your eyes on the future and don’t lose the grasp you hold on your goals and dreams.
No matter your identity, or preference, you have the right to happiness, success, and self-love — today, tomorrow, and every day after.
You are loved.
