Drawversity, Pride 2025 // The Last Session at Draw Brighton.

Yep, you read it correctly, we had our last session at the Draw Brighton studio on Saturday 2nd August 2025. Our first home, the setting of Drawversity’s origin story. You’ve probably heard the story hundreds of times, with a well written copied and pasted synopsis paragraph. But I’m going to tell you again, fresh from the memory bank. Let me take you back to April 2019. I had been back from living in China for about three months at this point, I had gone out their to build my portfolio…

Drawversity // Making changes

I was setting up for my class in the Hove studio, it was June 2024 and I was catching up with the lovely Steve and Mel who come to my class every month at Fine Feather Wellness. Steve started telling me about an exhibition he had been to recently, Bella Hoare’s A Different Green exhibition at Tower Wharf in London. Steve had picked up a program for me, and as he passed it to me…

I have spent the last month writing up intimate, vivid blogs on my time at Draw, the place where it all started! My creative home when I became self-employed, my sanctuary, my Life Model origin story. Right up until the very last session which I was honoured to model. The whole experience in my own words and pictures. We have Drawversity TONIGHT with @thomasfarag_ modelling for us. We have Drawversity THIS WEEK in hove at @finefeather.wellness Thursday 7-9pm Doing the research for this particular article, was actually really hard, I even asked my ESEA life model counterparts and they were stumped for historical ESEA models in Fine Art. And then I found this ‘Little Flower’ Hanako, a geisha who modelled for the sculpture artist; Auguste Rodin. Researching the current photographer Pixy and her partner and muse Moro was really interesting, it was fun to find a modern muse in a project that has been celebrated on a global scale.There are so many layers and emotions that ring through the project ‘Experimental Relationship’. The photos sing to different notes of what it is to be in an unconventional relationship, and are really fun images! Xi Shi was one of the Four Beauties of ancient China, known for her beauty and her role in a historical narrative. She is often depicted in art as a symbol of beauty and grace. Xi Shi’s story is full of intrigue, love, tragedy and an ending unknown, poets throughout history have literary and literally debated her story in their writings, what do you think happened to Xi Shi and the King of Wu?
