Growing up in the Canadian Prairies, temperamental extremes of weather encouraged excessive amounts of make believe, art creation, and dress-up for entertainment. From this, an enthusiastic passion for design was the logical progression of things.
Ashley enjoys creating whimsical and quirky pieces that have a sense of movement and life, often inspired by childhood memories and antique objects.
