HI THERE! I'M ASHLEY AND I PAINT.

​
I create portraits, murals, and I'm passionate about sharing my twenty years of painting knowledge with you! 
​
I've been painting for twenty years. In fact, I dedicated most of my life to being better at it.  I earned both a Bachelor's and a Master's in Fine Art.  I worked a 9-5, most recently teaching K-5 Art, while slipping in a painting session here and there. 
 
I love teaching but I knew I was capable of more.  I was ready to live a life after my own choosing. 
 
In October of 2022 I gave my two weeks notice. (spoiler: it actually ended up being over a month because I loved my students and my school)
 
Since then I often get DM's asking, "How are you doing this full time?" "What did you do?"  I may only be two steps ahead of where you are today but this purposeful, passionate life that I'm able to live TODAY is where it's AT. 
​
If you'd like to learn 5 steps that were game-changing and instrumental in quiting my full time job to become a paid artist just pop your name in that cute form below and I'll send it to you asap. 
 
Can't wait to see what you learn!
