Meet the artist behind Slow Art

I’m Bobby Graham—artist, author, and digital book designer. I draw, write, and publish expressive visual stories that invite a slower, more intentional way of seeing the world.

My background spans art therapy, publishing, and digital media. I’ve taught hundreds of people—especially those who thought they “weren’t creative”—to discover the joy of expressive sketching, often using just an iPad and a few well-placed marks.

In recent years, I’ve shifted away from fast-paced projects and commercial publishing to focus on something more sustaining: Slow Art. This is my way of working—and living—through attentive drawing, book-making, and visual journaling.

I’ve exhibited and published widely, launched a category for digital art at the Artists Society of Canberra, and continue to share my process through my ongoing Substack journal, Slow Art Life.

I live and work on Ngunnawal Country in Canberra, where I run small workshops, document personal journeys, and help others connect with their own creative rhythm.
