Some notes don’t shout—they just land gently, exactly where they’re meant to. ALWAYS BEEN THERE is one of those. A quiet, powerful little love letter to the people who’ve never left your side—whether they’re right next to you or tucked somewhere deep in your memory.
Kate, Piper’s mum, said it best: “Always been there—yes you have, yes I have, always.”
Piper’s art draws deeply from the world around her—movies, songs, shows—but she always finds a way to make it personal. Often that means sketching from the heart: her (imaginary) boyfriends, her real-life heroes, and the family—living or lost—that have shaped her story.
For Piper, who sometimes struggles to speak what she feels, drawing is the way through. Her pen lines say what words can’t, and in this note, they speak with softness, truth, and deep, deep love.
