Brigitte and Margot Queen Bee Giclée Print - Whimsical Encaustic Collage | Gift for Bee Lovers

You may request an audience with Brigitte and Margot, Queens of the Colonies at Sunset Blvd. - Protocol is advised.

"Brigitte and Margot, Queens of the Colonies at Sunset Blvd." is an open-edition giclée art print from Vermont artist Dominique Gustin's Bee Queen series - a collection of encaustic and digital collage paintings depicting bee queens in richly imagined settings, each with a distinct and unmistakable vibe. Two queens, impeccably dressed, seated amid a wild garden of poppies and flowering trees, sunglasses on, and wings folded.

Part surreal portraiture, part folkloric fable, part deadpan comedy. The Bee Queen series draws on the social architecture of the hive and reframes it through the lens of high fashion, wit, and no-nonsense feminine authority.

A meaningful gift for bee lovers, fashion enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates art that takes its queens very seriously.

About This Work
Dominique's prints reproduce original paintings that begin as digital collages - created in Photoshop from her own photographs, licensed imagery, and AI-generated visuals used as collage material. These source materials are transformed through collage, painting, and encaustic before the final work emerges. Every original is wholly handmade - shaped by touch, intuition, and close attention to surface.
