The Queen Shares

As part of the 2015 ArtWorks CincyInk project, this mural is a permanent love letter to the Queen City and all who call her home. Sourced from the beautiful voices of over 1,000 participants, the poem Seven Hills and a Queen to Name Them was crafted by the writers at Chase Public as a commission for the Cincinnati Tattoo Project. In this mural, white scripted words of love from the poem contrast perfectly with the rich dark background and with the shimmering gold of the Queen City’s crown. A cardinal and bluebird, the state birds of Cincinnati and Kentucky, perch atop the crown and are surrounded by two Lazarus lizards slithering among local flora and fauna. The Queen Shares serves as a beautiful welcome sign to the Pendleton, Over-the-Rhine, and Downtown neighborhoods.
