Have you ever watched someone take a whirlwind of ideas, emotions, and conversations and turn them into something tangible, something you can see and feel 💡? It's like someone took screenshots of a movie, but at the end you realise they are pieces of a puzzle that come together and tell a story you never imagined as such. ✍️ That’s exactly what Patti Dobrowolski did, and she did it with unmatched brilliance. Patti joined us at the NeverDoneBefore Festival to capture the essence of three sessions, and the results, well, where do we start? Her sketches aren’t just drawings, they hold the emotions, the laughter, the deep moments of reflection, and even the unspoken connections that tied everything together. Looking at her work doesn’t just remind you of what happened; it takes you right to the heart of it. What makes her art so unique is how it balances complexity with clarity. Her lines, colours, and shapes tell stories that feel alive. You don’t need to have been there to understand the conversations. Her visuals do all the heavy lifting, making every idea feel accessible, every insight feel powerful. Patti, your work elevated our moments. Thank you for your generosity, passion, talent, and for giving us a way to hold onto our sweet last experiences forever. We are in awe of what you’ve created and so grateful for the beauty and meaning you brought. What stands out most to you from her creations? 💬 Share your thoughts below—we’d love to know!
