Testimonials

"Assisting Bohie for the Queanbeyan Youth Mural was an incredible learning experience. Bohie mentored me in a way that was direct, informative and friendly whilst making me feel confident in my ability to rise to the challenge. She created a safe space for me to ask questions and provided clarity with anything I was unsure about.

I found Bohie to be an amazing teacher who had a genuine desire to get to know me and my skills just as much as she was willing to share her own practice.

I found the entire experience engaging, fun and am so pleased to have had the opportunity to learn from a professional street artist."

- Mimi Fairall, Canberra Street Artist Mentee

We loved every minute of it.”
