Vibrant, Dynamic and Abstract are words to describe the soulful art of Alicia Ashley Weathersby.
She began her journey as a "primitive" artist creating jewelry. Her pieces combine crafting, fine arts, and dance techniques as vehicles to her passion and life experiences. Freed from the constraints of conventional techniques, Ms. Ashley conveys her desire to express herself and be uniquely abstract.
The dynamism in her pieces is reflective of movement in nature as well as the human body, which is vividly transformed into an abstract presentation.

I worked with my mother in the family restaurant, where she instilled in me the importance of pursuing my dreams while also making time for self-care and spiritual growth. One of the most profound gifts from my mother is the practice of Buddhism and meditation, which has helped me overcome past traumas and connect with my inner being. These teachings have influenced my growth as an artist, and my meditation practice has allowed me to reach a deep meditative state that enhances my creative process.
