  • Biography
    Becky Thorns is an illustrator and lettering artist based in Cornwall, who specialises in children’s illustration and literary themed works. After graduating from Falmouth University with a Fine Art degree in 2015, she has more than 6 years in creative industries, ranging from illustration to architecture, and has recently been featured on the cover of My Cornwall Magazine. Becky has been working on her first children’s picture book with Little Gestalten. The World of Whales is due to be released internationally in early 2020. When she’s not illustrating, you can find her enjoying the great outdoors or cosy with a documentary, usually true crime or David Attenborough.
