About Me

Palos Verdes, CA, United States
Arist Bio: Ashley began painting at a very early age, beginning art lessons at a fine art school at the age of nine. There, she was classically trained in oils, acrylic, watercolor and charcoal for nine years. Wanting to pursue her art in college, she attended California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Art and Design. Fortunate enough to study abroad her third year of college, Ashley studied live painting at L'Accedemia di Belle Arti, in Florence, Italy, an art academy originally founded by Michelangelo in the 1500s. As an experienced artist, Ashley is able to capture the essence of her clients' inspirations, allowing for each mural to be unique and specific to each client's vision. Her custom hand painted murals include landscapes, themed murals, trompe l'oeil, decorative painting, seascapes, and beaches, etc, for private homes and businesses. She also does design work on furniture, floors, and other surfaces. Ashley currently lives in Palos Verdes, California, and works as a sign artist for Trader Joe's and as a private art instructor.

Woodblock Print

I did this woodblock print for a wedding invitation for two wonderful human beings last September ). It was a first for me, and really fun to make. I would like to use this technique in some of my paintings eventually, along with intaglio and other prints.

A woodblock print I did for a wedding invitation. Fun.
