I’m Ash, a multi-disciplinary visual artist and storyteller based in the Saint Louis metropolitan. I use primarily paint, ink and film mediums.
I debuted my first major publishing project in September of 2023, Plant Magic! Oracle Deck - a botanically and spiritually-inspired 48-card deck featuring original illustrations of foliage and florals, each with a spiritual or metaphysical meaning.
I started a vendor market in downtown Belleville, Illinois in 2021 called “The Belleville Indie Market”. This is a annual market which features artists, handcrafters and creative entrepreneurs from all over the Saint Louis Metropolitan.
I strongly believe in advocating for my neighbors on the fringes of society and those who have been unjustly and systematically disenfranchised by broken societal systems. I believe allyship and reparation is a necessity for a healthy and thriving society, and profound change begins and is sustained through intentional local community and grassroots efforts. I exist to dismantle patriarchal worldviews through my creativity.
I am an avid reader across many genres, a cinema enthusiast, and home gardener. I enjoy my life with my partner of 8 years and our 3 dogs.
We are currently restoring a 1977 RV with plans to use it for many road trips across the US. One of our favorite road trip vacations is travelling to the Great Smoky Mountains.
My favorite musicians are Stevie Nicks, Dolly Parton and David Bowie.
