About Holly Astle

Holly is an illustrator based in Falmouth, Cornwall. She is greatly influenced by her local surroundings of the coast and her deep love of the natural world. Protecting this comes at the forefront of everything she does, from drawings to educate and enhance appreciation of nature, to campaign work. To find inspiration Holly may be found walking the coast path whilst looking at fungi, fauna and other wildlife. She aims to capture an essence of Cornwall in her work, trying to evoke a true representation of coastal areas and the wildlife found there. Her illustrations are primarily digital based, although she is also inspired by the printmaking practices of lino and screen print, the textures and layer processes transferring across into her digital work.Read their story
