ARTIST, DESIGNER & VISUAL STORYTELLER
Visual storytelling for people, place and ecological connection.
I’m Bohie Blackwood. I collaborate with schools, researchers, councils and organisations to turn complex ideas into visual stories people can actually feel. Through illustration, public art and creative engagement, I create work that invites curiosity, connection and conversation.
Creativity That Leaves a Mark
Each project I engage is co-designed with people who care: organisations, educators, changemakers - seeking to create something meaningful and lasting.
