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.

Final Work at Trader Joe's




I never did post the final work I did at Trader Joe's before I left the company. TJ's.... what a place. Through my experience there I got to work with wonderful people, but realized about a month into my employment that the job wasn't for me. Have you ever seen the movie "Office Space"? Yeah... my experience there went a little something like that. I was asked once by my "captain" to "be more like Kobe Bryant" in terms of work ethic. Excuse me? Yeah.... "Nobody asks Kobe to try his hardest... he just goes out on the court and makes it happen".... Yep, so I gave the company some of my artwork, saved up some money, and moved to a cattle ranch to pursue my own art. I suppose I owe my exciting adventures to Kobe Bryant. Thanks, Kobe.
