Gwythian Surfer By Artist Holly Astle

Holly is an illustrator based in Falmouth, Cornwall. She is greatly influenced by her local surroundings of the coast and love of the natural world. To find inspiration Holly may be found walking the coast path whist 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.
