Bee (aka @beeillustrates) is an award-winning artist and creative based in London. Their practice spans illustration, printmaking, painting and drawing, as well as creative facilitation and collaborative projects. Their work often explores their own experiences of living with mental illness and figuring out their place in the world...but mainly they just like making art that makes you feel things.

They graduated from The University of Edinburgh with a First Class Ba (Hons) in Illustration, having also completed courses in Queer Studies, Curation and Social Anthropology.

Alongside their creative practice, Bee often delivers guest lectures at top universities, offers creative mentoring and professional practice support, and in 2024 was a board member for the Barbican Centre’s Imagine Fund, allocating funding to community arts projects.

In 2025, Bee opened their own brick-and-mortar studio and founded Art Club: IRL, opening the space up to the community through a programme of regular workshops, talks, creative mentoring sessions and self-directed drop-in hours, all aimed at encouraging accessibility in the arts.
