Hi,
My name is Ashley and I live in Prince George's County, MD. I started creating mixed media art in 2015 as a self-care hobby and one piece of art eventually turned into 50 pieces of art. Creating art takes me into another world and I just feel calm and free.
When I am not creating art I enjoy baking, cooking, drawing, reading, being in nature, and virtually spending time with family and friends. I am a mother to a lovely and energetic 1-year-old son.
