About Becca Thorne.
I’m a linocut specialist, creating work with a retro, rustic, organic feel. My work is frequently used to illustrate historical books and editorials which require a medieval or Tudor woodcut look, as well as food, garden and wildlife-themed projects.
Much of my inspiration comes from folk legends, medieval manuscripts and art of the Anglo Saxon and Viking period, as well as the natural world. Growing up in the Forest of Dean provided a wealth of influence, as did four years on the beautiful south Cornish coast, studying for my BA(hons) and MA in Illustration from Falmouth College of Arts.
