Violet Astor
Violet Astor is a Devon based artist who taught herself how to draw during the years she was chronically ill with Lyme disease. Violet has travelled the world collaborating with governments and NGOs to celebrate wildlife as well as raise awareness and funds for endangered species. She also holds talks in schools and to the travel industry to promote the protection of the environment.
Violet uses natural and ethically sourced materials in all her work. She makes her own charcoal and paint as well as drawing on paper recycled from coffee cups. Her adventures have found her mixing soils from Arabian Leopard territory in Oman to learning ancient traditions of boiling roots and leaves to create dye from remote Papua New Guinean tribes. She is currently home based raising her young family and can be found foraging soil, clay and rocks around Devon to create authentic British wildlife pieces.
