Hello, my name is Amanda O’Bryan, I’m an artist from the Hunter Valley NSW who makes art that connects with your creativity and elevates your spirit.

Welcome to aqueous made of water , an exhibition of paintings that explores the emotional connection between water as an essential life force and the creative process of transformation and growth.

The paintings are lyrical abstracts, energetic and expressive, that are forged through the fluidity of water and paint, creating organic floral shapes that are gestural in colour and form, rendering the emotion, power, healing and transformative nature of creativity and water.

Both water and creativity are amorphous, always changing and adapting to the surrounding forces, in a constant state of flux. I use this in my process, flooding raw canvas with watery glazes and veils of paint with layers upon layers bleeding through the work, nebulously revealing the history and connection of the paint and water to the raw canvas. Colour is a compositional device that reinforces the intersection between canvas and paint resulting in uplighting, joyful works of art.

I hope you enjoy artworks

faq’s About pricing & payments The selection of original art is a personal expression, a mind-body, love experience that connects you to your creativity and elevates your spirit. I love chatting about discovering art you love, it helps me better understand you and the investment you are making in my original art. The best way to do this is with a chat or email.

My email address is amanda@creativequeenbees.com OR Chat with me from your phone on What’s App, just click HERE

CALL • • • •

Direct deposit and credit card is the preferred method of payment via a link supplied in our chat or email.

Please refer to the full price list on page 32 and 33.

Due to the nature of original artwork, no change of mind, refunds or credits are issued. For peace of mind, I offer a ‘Love it before you buy it’ service, please see below for details.

Gift cards are also available.

How does delivery & shipping work?

• • • •

Free delivery to the Hunter Valley region includes: Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland and Singleton.

All paintings are carefully wrapped and boxed for secure Australia wide and international shipping.

If preferred, the painting can be rolled into a tube for stretching by a framer in your local area or country of delivery.

After selecting your painting, I provide a shipping quotation based on weight and dimension for delivery by an independent contractor or registered Australia Post.

•

All paintings ship with a signed and dated artist authenticity certificate.

What is ‘Love it before you buy it ?

Buying art is a deeply personal choice and sometimes you will ‘just love it when you see it’. To help with your artwork selection, I provide a ‘Love it before you buy it’ option. If you are unsure how a particular piece from the Aqeuous collection will work in your home or workplace, simply take a well lit photo of the room/space on your phone, capturing the full scale of the space, include some of your furniture and colour schemes and email me the image/s and I will place the artwork onto your photo. It’s is not an exact visual, however it certainly helps visualise the scale, colour and orientation of a piece before you buy.

Love it before you buy it service is $85 inc gst and redeemable on purchase of the painting.

What are the framing options?

All artworks feature 30mm gallery wrapped edges to capture each viewable surface of the painting. If your preference is boxed timber framing, additional options include solid white, washed white, natural oak and smoky black.

Framing selections are generally made during your enquiry. I can help with recommendations about framing preferences and turnaround times.

Environmentally friendly art?

My paintings are made using Australian 100% non-toxic acrylic paint. I don’t use solvents. My work is water-based, which means I don’t have poisons or toxins in the studio contributing to poor air quality, waste, or ending up in our waterways. It also means much less off-gassing from a painting when it’s hung in place. I re-use and re-claim plastic, glass and fabric materials to avoid landfill and consistently look for ways to reduce my waste impact on the environment as an artist.

Can I visit the studio?

Studio visits are the best! I always have many paintings on the go at once, so there is plenty to see and select while work is in progress. Chat with me on socials or send an email to arrange a time to visit my little garden studio in Lorn, Hunter Valley or set-up an online time via ZOOM or Facetime.
