About this artwork
In this 2025 inkjet photomontage, Giana De Dier presents David McQueen in a close‑up portrait that fits in a small frame of about four inches across. The image captures his profile with subtle layers of color and texture that give the face depth, while a small stuffed toy sits in front of him—an element McQueen chose himself to hint at personal equality with his wife and a touch of humour.
McQueen, born in 1969, began as a finance and IT executive before moving into coaching. He now shares insights through speaking, writing and podcasting, offering leaders inclusive decision‑making models. This portrait reflects that journey—combining professional seriousness with an intimate, playful prop that signals his personal ethos.
