Hi! I’m Ashley,

Wandering artist and fearless creative. I spent six years in a corporate job before quitting on a whim to pursue my art full time. After surviving a cancer diagnosis, I moved with my husband and daughter to pursue a small townlife in the middle of the Great Smoky Mountains.

My art is built in layers. My process is often filled with experimentation and spontaneity. I often use leftover paint from a current day’s painting to create a starting point for the next day. I draw inspiration from the landscape and animals around me and I am most commonly recognized for my bear and elk paintings. I always paint the eyes first and the rest of the painting falls into place. I have a passion for painting pet portraits and supporting our local no-kill shelter.
