About

Bobby Graham: speaker, author, publisher and artist.

I’m a publisher and content entrepreneur with experience across trade, academic, and scholarly publishing realms. My journey into artistic expression has been a slow evolution, starting with travel and location sketching, transitioning into cartooning, and eventually expanding to commissions for bespoke portraits.

An explorer at heart, I embrace various art media in my practice. My toolkit includes pen and ink and gouache, alongside iPad and iPhone art. This diverse range of mediums allows me to capture the essence of my subjects with a unique and personal touch.

I’m inspired by my Serbian/South African heritage to infuse mindfulness, technology, and sustainability into my artistic endeavours. I created Slow Art, offering both in-person and online art courses. Slow Art invites you to cultivate mindfulness, appreciate art, and embrace a slower pace of life.
