Hello there, I’m Ash!

Art has always been an integral part of my life, ever since I was a child. It served as my personal sanctuary, my way of escaping the chaos that often filled my home. I had no idea that that very chaos would ultimately propel me to focus on the intricate human condition and the complexities of our emotions. Through my art, I strive to connect with you and to encourage you to confront those deep-seated emotions that often remain hidden. Everyone experiences something unique when gazing at a piece of my work, as it resonates with those feelings tucked away in the corners of the mind. This is my heartfelt way of communicating to you, “I see you” and “you aren’t alone.””

I live with my family and maintain a studio just outside Pittsburgh, PA.
