Live illustration for Good Causes

Making art at events for the RHS and Energis
November 6, 2026

RHS and Edge Hill Uni - plants and plants!

Back in October, I live illustrated for two new clients, RHS Bridgewater, inspiring young people, and FSO 360' who work in environmental and innovation in the nuclear industry.

RHS was all about how to bring children and young people into the world of horticulture, and FSO's Gamechangers was about the innovation in the nuclear industry to help create a greener, more sustainable future.

Both were brilliant, forward-thinking events, and one of the reasons I really appreciate and am grateful for the work I do in live illustration.

Both opted for the live marker pens and paper/board over digital, and I can do both and understand the reasons for something which has a more tactile feel to it. Also, for the attendees, there is the opportunity to observe the artwork being made in the room.
