Illustrator in Residence – Hay Festival Winter Weekend 2021

Each year at Hay Festival, an Illustrator in Residence live draws a selection of events. Illustrator Beth Blandford was our Hay Festival Winter Weekend 2021 artist. Beth is a Welsh illustrator from Cardiff whose work centres around concepts of space: our physical and mental space, the space we steal, the space we inherit, and the spaces we choose to inhabit. She is heavily influenced by feminism and the conversations around it. Enjoy her drawings for Hay Festival Winter Weekend below and find out more about her work.
