Description:
Hello! I am a visual journalist, illustrator, designer and passionate creative and therapeutic arts practitioner who emigrated to the land of her father's birth -- Wales, in 2010. I own and run an art therapy school named Henry Hedgepodge Academy of ART. My work with children and adults is for the most part through the social service system. I LOVE LOVE what I do and feel very fortunate. As far as my own creative expression, all my designs have been created as illustrations or mono prints that are made by hand, I use digital only to scan in the images. My inspiration comes from the sea and the land, but also from the characters and friends I encounter. I love the play of bold hot and cold colours and black line.

My personal art studio in lovely St. Davids, Pembrokeshire is called cheese + pickles studio, not because I particularly like the sandwich, but because it sounded uniquely British (to me)! It's open to the public for creative workshops in printmaking, illustration, design and mindful drawing. Email cheesepicklesstudio@gmail.com for details and booking.

I love to share ideas with other artists. Follow me @cheeseanpickles, on Instagram and cheese + pickles studio on FB. All images © deborah withey 2017
