Artist Bio

 

Ashley Burnett was born and raised in Huntsville TX. She has been interested in art since she was a child. She would often draw on walls but her mother wouldn't get upset or scold her and would just direct her hand to paper instead. She didn’t have much growing up so her creativity was her largest source of entertainment. Ashley will be graduating in the fall of 2019 with a Bachelor's degree in 2D fine arts.

 

 

Artist Statement

 

My work is based on creating characters of fictional and fantastical backgrounds and bringing them into this plane of existence with the use of concept art. I use ink pens and watercolor for the majority of my work. There are also three life sized versions of characters in marker. I always enjoyed the wonder behind imagination and the thought of fiction becoming reality so I do what I can to bring my own imagination out for the world to see. Some of these characters are representations of people in my life while others are created purely of my imagination. Sometimes creating characters is my way of getting my emotions out so they can be understood more clearly but other but also by myself.
