Hello, my name is Amanda O’Bryan, I am a designer, artist, illustrator and founder of Creative Queen Bees. I spend my days drinking way too much tea, in my light filled studio in the back garden our 1910 Australian Federation house. I live in a quiet little village called Lorn on the River in the Hunter Valley, NSW.

Most days I work on commissioned brand, design, art and illustration for my lovely clients, plus the daily work of a studio art practice.

Creativity is a way of life for me, it has been for the past 20+ years and I share this life with my creative family. My husband and stepson are both professional musicians, with my younger son following in their footsteps. My daughter is our resident style Queen and I often get to share this Creative Queen Bees journey with two of my sisters, Belle and Cate. We write together on the blog and work in creative collaboration on projects and products. 

Creative Queen Bees is a place where I can share my passion for creativity and live out my truest desire –  to inspire, connect and support women to live happy, healthy, creative lives they love.

I started Creative Queen Bees back in 2012 as a full service creative studio specialising in award winning brand strategy, brand design, graphic and web. That all changed after I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in 2017.

You can read more about how my life changed in this blog post > here.

Since then, Creative Queen Bees has scaled down some parts and grown a different pair of ‘Hive Flying’ wings and this website is a growing, changing, living manifestation dedicated to women living a happy, healthy and creative life built on love.

While I was in recovery from Ovarian Cancer, I started writing a book called, ‘Daily Acts of Creativity’, it’s taken two years to bring my creative vision to life and I am so incredibly excited to share it with you when it’s released in a few short months – just in time for Christmas!

I know we will meet along the journey. Until then, much love to you.
