Yo.

My name is Ashleigh and I'm a be-dreaded creature of approximately 24 years. I make things. I paint. I (hula) hoop.



I like to tear things down and build them up again. These "things" consist of my environment, my personality, my beliefs, my body, my interests... and lately, my art.

I think that's a good explanation for what I've been doing. I'm learning the basics of creating art again, ditching all that held me back since childhood. It's hard to out grow the fear of a certain style or daring attempt to attack an idea too big for the brush...

the basics:

color
form
composition/juxtaposition
intent
the journey
fun - enjoyment

I'm currently trying to survive off the sale of these works over at http://tangerined.etsy.com
