Ashley StuartI live in Maryland, nestled between lush green of the forests and the bright blue of the Bay. This scene is a bit different to my last eight years spent living in the UK. However prior to our jaunt abroad we lived in DC and are really enjoying diving back into city life when we can, then retreating to our wooded haven.
My artwork is inspired by nature and my relationship with it. I like to celebrate the colors and patterns experienced during a daily ramble. In my home studio I am surrounded by inspiring keepsakes that each have a story – like grass from a beautiful field I walked with my daughters or the the smooth stone from my first visit to Nice, France. I create landscapes and floral collages derived from the fluidity and simple character of a line. Some paintings become pattern designs for home decor, fabrics, and wallpaper. Each piece is created in my home studio. My work can be found in private collections in the USA, UK, and Spain. My design abilities encompass design thinking and system awareness. Design has become a part of me that can no longer be turned off or removed. For a while I thought it may have left, but soon found that it was engrained within – what a lovely feeling. Time is always short, so I maximize organization and resourcefulness, as well as ensure efficiency and cooperation in varying environments and teams. |
