Artbalm creates:
I translate complex information into clear visuals to help you communicate effectively with your audience. Explore the services I offer to see how I can help you with graphic recording, illustration, arts-based engagement, and more:
Graphic recording, or visual scribing and sketchnoting. In real time I’ll capture your ideas and illustrate them with beautiful imagery as we go. Visual scribing is perfect for conferences, workshops and presentations.
Illustration, visual storytelling, rich pictures and infographics. Do you have a complex concept that is hard to communicate? I can tease this out visually and help your key messages flow dynamically. The people you need to reach will grasp them quickly.
Art-based engagement, art projects, facilitation, community engagement. I can help devise a creative process with you to engage participants in reflective processes that draw out their best thinking!
Life drawing and art classes. I run a weekly community life drawing session in north-west Brisbane. We gather to draw and connect, share and inspire. It’s a meditative practice that calms busy minds. The pics are worksafe, so you can click!
Artbalm Creative Services is based in Meeanjin/ Magan-djin/ Brisbane. Artbalm is owned by Rachel Apelt: I’m a visual artist with expertise across graphic recording and illustration, project management, community engagement, qualitative research methodology, and arts-based facilitation. I’m a professional-level member of Graphic Recorders Australia and I’m a great decoder of complexity!
A deep respect for the First Nations custodians of the land where I’m based, is where I start, acknowledging their sovereignty has never been ceded. I pay respect to their Elders and acknowledge the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people play within our community.
