Hi, I’m Bohie Blackwood.

As an illustrator, muralist and creative strategy consultant, I help you share stories from both the human, and the more-than-human world.

I use a place-based practice to partner with government, environmental researchers, community groups, and schools nationwide.

To learn more about how some of my favourite projects unfolded, you’ll find behind the scenes photos and interviews with myself, the clients and collaborators in Case Studies.
