Hello Amanda Michele Art
You may have noticed a few changes around here. Brown Bear Studio is transitioning to become simply Amanda Michele Art and I wanted to take a second to explain the switch. I will continue to make the same art you’ve come to love but just now with a new and honestly more fitting name.
So what’s the reason for the switch? I started Brown Bear Studio as a place to bring my whimsical animal illustrations out into the world. As time went by my focus switched to more abstract artworks but the name remained the same. The name made sense for what it was originally but my work and I have grown out of it.
So, dear reader, I hear you asking, why didn’t I just go by my name in the first place? Well, the easy answer is that my name Amanda Brown is ver common. My mom likes to joke that there were 3 other Amanda Browns at the hospital when I was born. So going by Amanda Brown wasn’t that easy and I guess it’s taken me a little bit of time to become comfortable (and enthusiastic) about going my first and middle name. Now that the time has come I couldn’t be more thrilled!
Spring is a time for blank slates and rebirth so now seems like the perfect time for a rebrand. (I also just ran out of business cards… talk about fate!!) I’m beyond excited to move forward as Amanda Michele Art and to keep bringing you all artwork inspired by the patterns and colors of nature.
Stick around, there are big things coming.
