About Becca Thorne.
I’m a linocut specialist, and my work is frequently used to illustrate historical books and editorials which require a medieval or Tudor woodcut look.
Much of my inspiration comes from 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. Alongside freelancing, I am also a part-time tutor of Illustration on the Graphic Design degree course at De Montfort University, where I run the year 3 Creative Competitions module.
