Ashley Franklin

Hello, my name is Ashley. I've been interested in a career in visual arts ever since I was 6 years old. I've always been considered a very observant person. Most of the time at school or with friends I would just sit back and watch everything instead of involving myself in most activities. I took that to my advantage, and began drawing and painting what I saw. I took most of my interest in the human face, the diversity, the similarities, masculinity and femininity. I loved the uniqueness of every person's face, so that is what I mostly make in my drawings or paintings. I also love vibrant colors, so in my paintings I try to incorporate as many bright colors as I possibly can, even when the concept of the painting is surrounded by a dull or grey feeling. I take interest in all of the mediums, sometimes I use all in one painting. Mostly, I am a realism artist, but I do dabble into some abstract from time to time to make it interesting. I'm not entirely sure what I should say now, I really hope you enjoy the look and feel of my work. Thanks for reading :)
