Queen Mary Archival Project

This poster series promotes the Queen Mary archival exhibition, exploring the life of Queen Mary I and her torturous reign. They are inspired by the nursery rhyme Mary Mary Quite Contrary.

My designs feature NYPL archival prints with loosely drawn foliage, ominous imagery, and textured paintings. I wrote the nursery rhyme alternatives
