"We are starting from a place of entanglement"
I recently revisted these conversations illustrated at the Sefari Gateway ideas hub in Edinburgh Botanic Gardens in 2023. A session full of gems of wisdom about collaborating towards shared environmental aims in the context of a complex social system.

It was a huge privilege to create 8 visual notes capturing insights from The Presiding Officers @parliament.scot 25th anniversary regional visits to hear from communities across Scotland last year.
They will be up in the public area of the parliament over the summer, do go in and see them!

I've been working on a piece from Scotland's community justice organisation Sacro's 2nd conference. This is from their first in 2022, when poet / DJ Byron Vincent talked powerfully about the impact of growing up as a neurodivergent kid in poverty. Stories matter.

We need to join up the dots. I'd like to use my skills. I'd like to do more here. We all want to do our bit to save the planet. The thoughts from participants in the Gallant project - a community based collaborative environmental science project in Glasgow. Link to research in alt text.

So many oystercatchers on the beach at Portobello this morning. One of my favourite birds, I love their calls. I definitely feel like we see more of them here at the moment.

I also draw birds, with old ordnance survey maps embedded in them. These are somewhat on the back burner at the moment as I am mostly graphic recording. But I take commissions for special birds + special places when I can, so get in touch if you'd like to discuss one.

'The science we need for the Ocean we want', 'science into policy', 'an integrated approach' 'how do we reach the right people' 🩵🌊. The second drawing made in collaboration with Claire Stringer at a fascinating event hosted by the National Oceanography Centre, 2022.

As a graphic recorder I listen & draw at events, distilling a visual overview of conversations. It's a real privilege to listen in at the events I join. This, about Ocean Connectivity, was created with artist Claire Stringer for The National Oceanography Centre in 2022. Water connects us all🌊🌍
