AMANDA’S INSPIRATION:
“Queen Bee” is a striking portrait that captures the regal essence and intricate beauty of a bumblebee. Set against a warm, golden background reminiscent of honey and sunlight, the bee is rendered in exquisite detail, from its fuzzy body to its delicate, translucent wings. The hexagonal patterns subtly woven into the background evoke the structure of a honeycomb, connecting the bee to its natural habitat and role. This piece aims to highlight the importance of bees in our ecosystem, inviting viewers to appreciate the complexity and beauty of these often-overlooked creatures. The intimate 12x12 inch format allows for an up-close exploration of the bee’s features, fostering a connection between the viewer and this tiny yet crucial member of our natural world.

🌟December 2025 Notice — Customs Testing Period🌟
International customs rules have changed this year, and during December 2025 I am actively reviewing how each country applies duties/VAT on fine art. For this month, I will be monitoring customs charges closely, gathering feedback from buyers, and assessing whether to switch to a prepaid-duties (DDP) system in 2026. If you encounter any customs fees or delivery issues, please feel free to contact me — I’m here to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.
