Artist

I'm a painter focusing on landscapes, architecture and gardens. Created by the layering of visceral brushstrokes and washes, my work aims to be an avenue for nostalgia and wanderlust. Using a primary color palette creates depth, definition, and texture. Each piece is a connection to the smell of the water, the sound of busy markets, the taste of tea, the vastness of land, or a gentle breeze. 

My work can be found in private collections in the USA, UK, and Europe. Currently showing in the Peterborough Museum Art Gallery.

Designer

​I am an award-winning graphic designer with a distinguished skillset for branding strategy, design, and creative thinking. With a modern aesthetic I create clean, striking solutions for any brand complexity.

Following my undergraduate work at Ohio University, Athens, OH USA (BFA Graphic Design), I was successful in industry-wide positions such as in-house designer, agency designer, studio designer, and freelance designer. I now use this experience in my own studio and entrepreneurial venture as a self-employed artist and designer.

Ashley is the best! I’m so happy I ordered prints from her. She was super responsive, and worked with me to deliver exactly what I was looking for. I can’t wait to display more of Ashley’s pieces in my home.

I would recommend Ashley's work in a heartbeat: her level of professionalism as an artist is unfounded, and she thinks of every single detail in every aspect of the process to ensure you receive a high-quality product to enjoy for years to come. She's also just a wonderful human and fun to work with.

I love the artwork I purchased by Ashley. We receive so many compliments when I show it off. Quality is top-notch and working with Ashley was a breeze. The order came quickly and was nicely packed to minimize damage from flying all the way from across the big pond.
