Personal life

She attended Meriden High School before graduating and enrolling at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) to study computer programming, but in mid-1998, she was inspired to write and draw her own manga stories after reading Rurouni Kenshin.

Career

Queenie Chan started publishing her own web comics before she considered submitting her work to Tokyopop in 2005, where she successfully published her three volume series The Dreaming.

Reception

Bill Sherman, reviewing Chan's work on The Dreaming praised her work stating she was a "skillful visual storyteller, capable of slathering on the atmosphere".[2]
