Artist Statement
Hello ! I’m Ashley and this is my artist statement! I think art has impacted my life for the good. It's become a way for me to cope with anxiety that I have. I also think it's a great time to make use of my free time. When I have time I will doodle on whatever surface I have. When I first got into art I was pretty young but also I feel like to my other fellow artist I was a late bloomer. Ienjoy doing small detailed drawings but I do acknowledge my weakness is when it comes to bigger art. But, the reason why I am currently so focused on drawing bigger would be because of Andy Warhol and Margaret D.H. Keane. They are a big influence for me to step out of my comfort zone when it comes to it. Also my dad and my Uncles are great artist. Although it is not a career either one pursued they have made great art work in the past and they have been my inspiration ever since then. I hope one day my art inspires other students and young artist to follow what they want to do. Through art I felt like I belonged somewhere for once and I can never give it up.
