BORN TO DRAW
Fuelled by PASSION & the LOVE for all things ART
SketchRoo was not forged in a boardroom, over a business plan or piles of blueprints. SketchRoo was born a little less traditionally, in a garage. Founder Denver Pereira spent years daydreaming of the day he can make “learning to draw” more accessible to local communities while he imbues those he works with, with his joy of creating art.
In our words…
We’re a bit…obsessive.
In fact, we’re a little fixated on drawing. We believe, it is our God-given purpose to coax people in the process of learning to be more creative through the work of art.
We’re a family of art-makers. Creative ninjas. Never-been-coaxed-before illustrators.
We don’t just help people find their creative soul. We help them find their creative path. We don’t just deliver workshops. We deliver a medium for self-expression.
That’s the SketchRoo way of being.
We feed the creative soul.
Simply said, we coax people to sketch (it’s in our name). At the heart of our organisation are the values we embrace in providing artistic workshops for kids, youth, and care home residents in a safe and nurturing space to explore their creativity and self-expression.
We offer a creative outlet for people of all ages, the means of self-expression through their own discovery and exploration without restraints.
We do more than coax people to draw.
The work is as important as the pleasure we get from helping people find their creative path. Such an authentic work culture isn’t imposed on us, and it’s something that cannot be invented in an online platform. For us at SketchRoo, it appears spontaneously as we are passionate about what we do, and that passion can be felt in every workshop we deliver.
That’s our moto. And we live it every day.
Our style of coaxing is infectious.
We believe that if we can imbue people to naturally express themselves in what they see, think, and feel through the form of visual communication, then we have achieved the purpose of our being. At SketchRoo, we are fully committed to nurturing creativity in budding artists and re-igniting it in everyone else through process based drawing workshops focused on self-exploration.
Individually we are specialists, together we are a great team.
We've gathered one of the friendliest and most skilled creative team possible. To be honest, they couldn't be more creative even if they wanted to be.
We are a family of artistic nerds, comic book pros, cartoon superstars, caricature ninjas, creative luminaries, and never-been-coaxed-before illustrators with a passion for helping people find their creative path.
Together, we’re a collective of cartoonists, illustrators and educators because we don’t believe in boundaries, limits, or restrictions. We focus on coaxing drawing techniques and process in all our workshops, and with us, you will create some awesome art pieces too.
