Artist Statement

Ash's Vibrant World

As a mixed-media artist, I strive to create vibrant, whimsical works that evoke emotional responses. My art is a reflection of my soul, a journey through a world bursting with color and joy. Through mediums such as drawing, painting, glass, jewelry, and textiles, I aim to spark curiosity and inspire change.

I have been creating art since I was young, and my high school years marked the beginning of my artistic journey. I enrolled in art classes and participated in school exhibitions, where I was encouraged to explore different mediums and styles. My passion for art grew stronger with each passing year, and I eventually pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Mount St. Joseph University. Each piece is a testament to my passion for exploring the limitless possibilities of creativity. By combining diverse materials and techniques, I seek to create unique and thought-provoking compositions.

Ultimately, my goal is to use art as a catalyst for positive change. I believe that if my work can evoke an emotional response, I have fulfilled my purpose as an artist. Through my art, I hope to inspire others to see the beauty in the world and to embrace their own creative potential.

Take My Bones Away

In January of 2023, I broke both of my legs rock climbing. One was a simple fracture, while the other was a full compound break. My leg shattered into 6 pieces resulting in surgery, permanent hardware, and a full year of recovery ahead of me. I am a very active person with lots of goals and ambitions. Having to rest and rely on others was a challenge in letting go. During this time, there was some extra emotional drama woven into this and brought out the worst within me. I hit an all-time low in my mental health but with love, patience, empathy, and trust I came out of the other side a stronger and better person.

Eye-scension: To Glitter You Shall Return

In my high school art class, we were tasked with crafting a clay self-portrait house. Inspired by Surrealism, my creation was a whimsical blend of melting clocks, eyes, rainbows, and storm-filled clouds. The entrance was a giant, gaping mouth with a protruding tongue. Sadly, no photos were taken, and the piece didn't survive time.

During college, I developed a fascination with eyes, so much so that my professors encouraged me to explore other interests. Their guidance was invaluable. To celebrate my love for eyes, I embarked on a self-portrait project that showcased their intricate beauty.

Yoga and meditation, now essential parts of my life, also inspired this piece. I wanted to combine two of my favorite mediums: Prismacolor pencils and paint. The eyes, mouth, and tongue are Prismacolor on paper, seamlessly integrated into the painted canvas. I hope 'Eye-scension' ignites your imagination and invites you on a meditative journey.

The lines between truth and fiction, fueled by conspiracy theories and the rise of AI, have created a complex and often confusing reality. To navigate this landscape, we must foster curiosity and critical thinking. Only by embracing these qualities can we escape the digital echo chamber and forge a path toward authenticity and genuine connection.
