Drawing of The Snow Queen

by Kelley Hensing

I’m really looking forward to taking part in the upcoming Mazza Museum show, the Enchanted Brush Exhibition. This year’s theme is “Maidens of Myth”, curated by Dan Chudzinski. The final painting is a secret until the opening, but I took one of my preliminary sketches and made it into a final drawing. If you enjoy this then make sure you check out the final painting, on display starting June 4th-August 10th.

Based on the Hans Christian Anderson fairytale, “The Snow Queen” is a mysterious figure that rules over Winter. It’s a strange and lovely tale with it’s own unique style of symbolism and imagery.

Frame is black wood, matted with glass front

drawing measures 13×19; with frame 19×25
