Steph Hughes

Melbourne-based Steph Hughes makes drawings for all occasions, and considers herself a draw-er who was put on this planet to create things that help others in some way via the fabulous medium of doodling.

Her illustration practice originated through creating gig posters for bands – and has rolled on to diverse projects with the Melbourne Museum, TAC, Human Rights Arts & Film Festival, Golden Plains Festival, Oxfam, Guide Dogs Association – and an array of editorial work, logos, maps, murals and books.

Steph is known for hand drawn, line-y and simple (though sometimes busy) drawings. Steph has a Diploma of Visual Art from Swinburne University, and has collaborated with Bosch on their Dream Machine series, and created a large colourful piece for the Guide Dogs Association for a tram promoting the GDA’s work to create a more accessible public transport system. Steph collaborates with people of all ages in community artworks and murals, through workshops and projects that promote connection through artmaking.
