Queen of the Island    Mackinac Island   Amelia Loshaw, Eben Breton


Commemorating a Mackinac Island tradition since 1949, this poster honors the Lilac Festival and the crowning of its Queen. The lilac is elevated as a regal symbol, reflecting both the ceremony and the island’s seasonal beauty. Flowing from petal to leaf, the composition uses dynamic graphic form to mirror the natural rhythm of the blooms in June. Handcrafted and screen printed, this collectible piece captures the spirit and legacy of one of the island’s most beloved events.
