Visual Storytelling
& Creative Consultation
I'm Bohie Blackwood. I am a place-based researcher artist working alongside educators, researchers, communities and organisations to spark curiosity, deepen understanding and inspire meaningful connection.
People often approach me looking for an artist to help communicate their message. After our first meeting, I often discover they're really looking for a new way to bring people together.
From there, the creative journey combines research into lived experience, diverse perspectives and shared goals.
Our final artwork then becomes an artefact of the meaningful and insightful conversations we’ve sparked along the way.
More than just an artist
Public space mural highlighting the impacts of urban runoffs on local environment
Digital artwork highlighting hope and care during Covid Lockdowns spanning two city blocks for Enlighten Festival
Creative direction sits at the heart of my practice
I help my clients untangle big ideas to uncover what’s driving their project. This approach helps me determine how best to connect with their audience.
Whatever the message, I bring together community engagement, storytelling and design to bring meaning to the project. The result is a cohesive project where design and strategy work together to create authentic engagement.
“Bohie helped us refine and strengthen our approach so that our message became clearer, more powerful, and perfectly fit for purpose.
Her ability to balance design, storytelling, and cultural sensitivity is remarkable.”
— Co-ordinator of Indigenous Education, SCEGGS Darlinghurst
