Whiskey’s practice merges traditional storytelling with contemporary influences, celebrating powerful women, humour, and everyday life.

After observing and discussing 'Seven Sistas Story', we’ll move into a gentle, identity‑focused drawing session. Using mindful, guided techniques and, participants will explore ideas of self, belonging, and personal story. Through intuitive mark‑making, layering, and quiet reflection, you’ll be invited to consider how your own identity sits within community, place, and culture.
