About the Artist
Ashley paints large acrylic paintings of nature and home and tiny paintings of people.
Each artwork elicits ‘home’ and pieces of where she’s found it around the world. This theme sneaks up in her usage of color, storied characters, patterns, expressive florals, movement, and vibrant landscapes.
In her work, she uses significant textural layers to translate the feeling of home through touch and feeling.
“We are more connected than we often believe and I hope you feel rooted, connected, free to want and desire, moved, and loved within this world of the World Joy Movement.” - Ashley
At a young age, paint and uncanny ‘brushes’ became my way of understanding the natural world. Today, it’s become a language and a framework through which I make sense of relationships, participation, culture, travel, and place-making.
