Shefali Wardell
Course Leader, Illustration BA(Hons) (Online)
I have worked with Falmouth Online since 2020. My first illustration role was in 1997 and my practice has continued to evolve since then. An interest in teaching experience came through working with illustration and storytelling with community groups, schools and community arts projects. and eventually moved on to higher education via teaching professional printmaking in technical workshops and colleges.
Enjoying an interdisciplinary approach where I always wanted to learn new skills, my first successful period of arts industry roles were originally in character illustration and special effects / prosthetics design for screen and stage, but after over 20 years recent illustration work has been centred around public projects, often still involving figurative drawing, film and performance. I love new things, so enjoy changing my working methods every few years in order to focus on storytelling and collaborative illustration practices using different materials.
