Ashley has been making collages since 2012 and has maintained it as a personal practice for processing, meaning-making, and creative expression. “I believe in repurposing in the most vulnerable ways - with materials, thoughts, and feelings. My Collage practice allows me to practice sustainability and build intuition by following whatever feels right in the moment. As someone who found this practice while in recovery from self-harm at the same time as being an avid thrifter, I found a way to turn that love into a coping mechanism, which has followed me for years.”
Ashley is currently available for commissions (personal and commercial)
