Hatshepsut came to the throne of Egypt in 1478 BC. She was the daughter of Thutmose I and his primary wife Ahmes. Her husband Thutmose II was the son of Thutmose I and secondary wife Mutneferet, who carried the title King's daughter and was probably a child of Ahmose I.
Dean Mitchell (born 1957) is an American figurative artist who works primarily in watercolor and oil paint. His subjects, derived largely from African American culture, have been cited for their emotional depth, avoidance of facile sentimentality, and accomplished sense of formal design.
After graduating from the Columbus College of Art and Design in 1980, Mitchell moved to Kansas City, Missouri and started working as an illustrator at Hallmark Cards. He remained at Hallmark for the next three years and began entering national and international art competitions. When Hallmark terminated his employment in 1983, he decided to pursue painting as a full-time career.
Mitchell's artwork has been the subject of numerous articles, and is represented in museum and corporate collections, including the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, and the Saint Louis Art Museum.
Mitchell has also illustrated US postage stamps, such as the 1995 Louis Armstrong stamp in the Jazz Musician series.

Imagined portrait of Hatshepsut, fifth pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Egypt, by Dean Mitchell
Queen Hatshepsut reigned over Egypt for more than 20 years. She served as queen alongside her husband, Thutmose II, after his death she claimed the role of pharaoh while acting as regent to her nephew, Thutmose III.

Hatshepsut established the trade networks that had been disrupted during the Hyksos occupation of Egypt, thereby building the wealth of the eighteenth dynasty. She oversaw the preparations and funding for a mission to the Land of Punt, which set out in her name with five ships, each measuring 70 feet (21 m) long bearing several sails and accommodating 210 men that included sailors and 30 rowers. Many trade goods were bought in Punt, notably frankincense and myrrh.
"I was born and raised in Russia; now I live in Canada. The digital painting is my hobby that plays a huge role in my life.
My tools of choice are Photoshop, Painter, and Intuos 3. Up until 2 years ago I considered her-self mostly self-taught in the arts. Now I'm studying part-time drawing and painting in the old master tradition at the Academy of Realist Art. That's how serious I am about my hobby ;)
My inspiration comes from legends, folk and fairy tales, also historical events and movies.. Since very young, I have loved fairy tales and legends. They're the source of my inspiration now. I hope that much of my work has a distinct originality and unique feel.
