Hannah Shillito has drawn over 100 Brighton women for a new seafront gallery to raise awareness for Survivors’ Network, which aims to reduce sexual violence and its impact on survivors’ lives through counselling, advocacy, peer support and group work as well as training for professionals.Hannah , the colourful artist behind Hannah Shillito Art, says lockdown has actually been the reason for the women she has drawn coming together in order to share their inspiring stories while having their portrait done.
A Facebook post in the Brighton Girl city network asking for muses for her art resulted in over 100 volunteers coming forward for a chance to be drawn.Hannah said: “While we’ve been locked up in lockdown it has been hard to feel creatively.
