Multidisciplinary artist, illustrator and creative workshop facilitator
I create art, comics and workshops under the name Drawesome, specialising in wellbeing and self-exploration. I’m based in the southwest UK – North Somerset, near Bristol.
My unique approach injects a playfulness, including gamifying art classes, and balancing humour and compassion, creating artwork and workshops with sensitivity and curiosity.
Workshop facilitation
Discover an unconventional approach to creative workshops for adults, to help us ponder on our mental health, creativity, and even death. You can book me to teach one of my workshops at your event or attend one of my online or in-person workshops.
Comics
Read light-hearted autobiographical comics on deep (and not-so-deep) topics, exploring mental health, mortality and everyday whimsy.
I use illustration, design and whimsy to connect with people
I take on illustration, design, and facilitation commissions, drawing on my wealth of experience in a variety of artistic disciplines using my unique light-hearted approach.
