Ash Stral
I’m an artist who loves designing bookish printables and painting bookish oil paintings, and I’m also an author! I started Bookish Troves to celebrate and share the wonder of books and the love of reading with fellow book lovers.
I am endlessly fascinated by lore surrounding secret libraries and lost manuscripts, something you’ll find reflected in my upcoming novels.
Romantic art is the fuel and the spark plug of a man’s soul; its task is to set a soul on fire and never let it go out.Ayn Rand

A note on how the art is made
I use AI as a creative tool to help bring my artistic vision to life. Each artwork begins with my own hand-crafted layouts and creative direction, which guide the concepts, composition, style and visual storytelling. AI is one part of the process; the final selections, refinements and curation are mine, so every piece reflects my intended aesthetic and creative vision.
