About Ashley’s Art
Style:
Ashley’s art
consists of a combination of printmaking (Woodcuts & Linocuts) and
illustration, (Pen, Ink & wash). The
pieces are often intimate, particularly the elongated sizes. The imagery comes
from that of nature including things such as trees, landscapes, a natural
female form,(Ashley’s image of Mother Earth) as well as woodland creatures such
as her fox friend and fleeting deer.
Ashley loves using linear edges to create a fluid motion and overall
balancing opposites. The lines are harsh and raw. They cut through the
space. Ashley then implements colors
found in nature, often muted. Ashley’s
works are about her observations of the world around her; as it changes and
evolves as well as what is left behind in the process.
