Meet the Artist…


I am a mostly self-taught artist, living in a small rural town in Eastern Oregon. As of early 2024, I began taking classes at the New York Academy of Art, with an emphasis on atelier/old masters techniques in both drawing and oil painting.

I’m the granddaughter/great-granddaughter of two famous American West sculptors, whose work can be found all over the world and in sections of the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, WY. Something that has undoubtedly influenced my relationship with art from a very young age.

My main medium is oil paint and I lean towards a realistic style on both a large and small scale. My art represents a vivacity for life and a deep appreciation for the little things, depicted through equestrian, western, and lifestyle themed pieces. It is an opportunity for me to express and share with an audience, the things that I love.

Alongside my equine focused practice, I enjoy working on animal portraits and equestrian or western themed paintings by commission. Subjects are not limited to equine. I pride my work in not only capturing likeness of the subject, but also their individual character, in an elegant and sophisticated manner.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find something you love,

Ashley
