    October already?!

    I know it seems absurd to mention the C-word (Christmas) and consequently the H-word (Holidays) but I'm going in! Start thinking about putting requests in now if you'd like a beautiful, personalized, painting to give as a gift to someone you love or to yourself. The process takes 6-8 weeks so carve out YOUR spot by sending me a message today. I already have two spots that are taken and I can only fit in a few more!

    Hello, September!

    STORM UPDATE: While September has thus far been a roller coaster, thanks to Hurricane Ir... you know. I'm not even go to finish that sentence. If you've been watching, reading, reacting, cursing at that former storm than, like me, you are just as sick of thinking about it, talking about and expending more energy on it. What's important is that I'm safe, my friends and family are safe and for the most part it's nothing that time and a few trips to Home Depot can't repair.

    August in the Studio

    Welcome to my studio! A lot has changed since May! I am quasi-moved into my new home studio space. It's a loft space which provides beautiful light throughout the day. The Florida rays are definitely heating things up (heat rises!) but it's nothing a powerful fan and an iced coffee can't cure. My pup, Lucius Fox, is certainly loving his status as full time studio dog and I'm currently caught up with all my favorite podcasts. If you have any suggestions, let me know! Pictu

    a journey of plastic surgery and paint

    Hi friends! I recently resolved an oil painting titled Rhinoplasty. Here's the journey behind the work: I was initially inspired by a quick still life I completed over the summer: Guess what? I loved pattern! Who knew? So I devulged my pattern sensibilities by creating a painting centered around two points: my fascination in replicating pattern with paint and the relationship between myself and a garden bunny that was in disrepair in my backyard. When I first met the bunny

    A month overdue for a post! I've been sketching and painting some small still lifes that will blossom into a few new paintings soon. Here are some of the photo references of a new projection painting. Thanks for modeling, MC! and here's an outtake that MC took of me - not bad! #ashleycassens #ashleynicole #photography #photographer #neonlights #projection #artist #tampa #southflorida #floridaatlanticuniversity
