Ashley is a professional artist originally from Wildwood, Illinois. The inspiration for her work comes from her many experiences working and playing in the outdoors of the West. From trail crew in the Northern Cascades to working in Grand Canyon, her views have been nothing short of inspiring.

While working with multiple different mediums to express her creative ideas, the majority of Ashley’s work features, but is not limited to, native botanicals from the areas she has lived in the Southwest. Her current focus in fine art uses pyrography (wood burning), water colors & acrylic on locally sourced live-edge wood to bring her visions to life. In addition to her wood originals, Ashley also likes to dabble in inked illustrations, digital art/graphic design, acrylic canvas painting and community collaborations.

Throughout her journey as an artist, Ashley owned and operated a small local collective art space known as the Art Loft Collective. Read more about the Art Loft Collective here

Ashley lives in Flagstaff, Arizona in an adorable little home with her partner, Jordan. Between work days they find time to trail run, camp, hike, boat and stroll the neighborhoods of their beautiful mountain town.
