Bio

Ashley grew up in Rowlett TX, Rowlett started out as a small town, but over time became a decent city. This is where her fascination between nature and manmade objects started. Throughout her pieces she has a connection between either her objects, the meaning behind them, or the materials used to create the works. Her work has been displayed at Richland community college garland TX in 2017-2018. Right now she is continuing her degree at Texas State University getting her bachelors in Studio Art with a BFA of Drawing.

Artist Statement

I create mixed media paintings and drawings. I get my inspiration from taking walks, taking pictures, looking through Instagram, or even just sitting around daydreaming. I also get inspired to work on my pieces when I look at Gerhard Richters work, he has that crazy abstract style I strive for. I am always looking for something, yet not demanding anything from my inspirations and works that have helped me to get to my unique style today. Even though I use a lot of different materials, right now my work consists of paint pouring and then painting in acrylic or oil over that to create an entirely new image. During this process I invite mistakes to occur. For example, when I was doing a pouring, I accidentally dropped a roll of paper towels onto my finished pour.  I really liked the design left by it, so I started to do that on my other canvases. Having this process of pouring, painting over it, and accepting my mistakes really helps me express who I am today.
