Illustrating Conversations

”What extraordinary lecture notes… the most enticing I’ve seen.” - Robert MacFarlane

Recording your event. Drawing as active listening, in person and online. Sketched live and developed afterwards.

1. Making it personal - a revolution in healthcare. Pop-up of showcase to MPs at Westminster by Cambridge Children’s Hospital, CCRH /CUH Arts Nov 2022.

3. Anatomical Epiphanies. Cardiff University/Phoenix. See also: International Health & Wellbeing. Blog account here.

July 2022: Facilitating visual conversations at University of Namibia Faculty of Health Sciences and Veterinary Medicine in Windhoek, with Professors Judith Hall and Quenton Wessels, staff teams and students, reflecting on leadership and personal development.

“Really eye opening... reminds me how visuals can play an important role to facilitate change at a self level and within the spaces we find ourselves. Indeed we all have a story to tell if we are given a platform and you did just that for me. Looking forward to having more conversations and learning opportunities. “

Dr. Arthur Chigova, Lecturer, Dept. of Community Dentistry, UNAM.

3. Cardiff University staff research workshop in AHSS Special Collections and Archives Oct 2022. 3D capture with Dr. Emily Cock, Early Modern History.

4. Zoom with David W Gray from School of the Possible around silences and making space, including lessons learned from a clowning workshop which used points of stillness to allow the audience in. I elaborated upon David’s notes on Procreate.

5, ‘Data Governance in Medical Research’ event, Cardiff University and Cardiff and Vale NHS, Dec 2023.

”
The images you produced for us are still in high rotation. They really resonate with the audience whenever we use them in presentations, and we’ve received great feedback each time.”

Liz Merrifield, Information Governance Lead, Department of Cancer and Genetics, Cardiff University. Oct 2024.

6. ’Food, With Care’ online conference, Cambridge University Jan 2022:

”You really did a great job of listening and drawing at the same time… It was a long day and to keep up the momentum, without losing any of the quality, is representative of your skill and dedication to your craft.”

Anna Todd, Communications and Engagement Manager (Cambridge Children’s Hospital project)

7. Cambridge University Hospitals: online patient and carer engagement conversations about the design of a new children’s hospital, April-Sept 2021 with architects Hawkins Brown; also Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital Staff and Patient Advisory groups, visualising conversations about new spaces and ways of working.

Images aim to make sense of complexity through everyday metaphors and expressive schema.

”What a brilliant set of illustrations! You’ve captured so much here – each vignette representing an important point of conversation in a way that is so human, and so immediate.”

Natalie Ellis, Head of Arts, Cambridge University Hospitals

”The illustrations have really helped draw out themes and get wide feedback which is exactly what we need!”

Andrea Grosbois, Head of Communications and Engagement, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Trust

8. Greensand One-Day Residency at Found Outdoors in Wiltshire, with Natasha Mayo. Day led by Claire Loder.

9. Senior Leadership Team Meeting at University of Namibia, July 22. chaired by Pro. Judith Hall. Fellowship work for Cardiff University/Phoenix.
