About

Gillian Hebblewhite

I am an artist from Hull in the United Kingdom with a background in nursing, health research, youthwork and community, adult and higher education teaching in visual arts, illustration and health-based subjects. In 2021 I decided to focus on my own artwork and I would like to use my experience, knowledge and interest in art and wellbeing to support others.
