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. Over the years, I’ve taught scores of people—especially those who believed they “weren’t creative”—to rediscover the joy of expressive sketching, often using just an iPad and a few well-placed marks.

In recent years, I’ve stepped away from fast-paced projects and commercial publishing to focus on something more sustaining: Slow Art. It’s become both a creative practice and a way of life—anchored in attentive drawing, book-making, and visual journaling.

I’ve exhibited and published widely, launched a new 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 intimate workshops, document personal journeys, and help others reconnect with their creative rhythm.
