Meet the illustrator Asty Bloom
As a nature lover and artist I'm thrilled to bring the
wonders of the daytime sky to life through my
illustrations. From the soft, puffy clouds to the brilliant
blue hues that stretch above. I believe that nature is
full of stories waiting to be told, and I'm honored to
share those stories with you through my art.
From a very young age I've experienced
an evergrowing fascination for art and nature, I loved
being outdoors, gazing up at the sky, watching the
clouds morph into fantastical shapes, and feeling the
warmth of the sun on my face.
I hope to inspire young readers to observe, and
appreciate the world around them. I believe that by
exploring and understanding nature, we can develop
a deeper connection with the world and ourselves. I'm
excited to share my illustrations with you and hope
they spark a sense of wonder and curiosity in your heart!
