My name is Christie Ashley and I am a painter/mixed media artist with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Drawing and Painting with minors in Art History and Ceramics. Working in the arts is my life's true passion where I experience a joy like no other. My goal is to help you discover this same joy through exercising creativity, your imagination, and developing your unique personal style. I have 30 years experience as an artist.

I have been a portrait artist for 15 years! I've worked with many mediums; my specialties are Charcoal & Acrylic. Over the past five years, I have been an art instructor for students young and old! I really enjoy one on one instruction, because I can focus more on your individual needs- plus seeing your excitement over your own creation is all I could ask for! Bigger groups are just as fun I've taught many paint parties! Work with me, our time together will be fun!

Sewing can be one of the most satisfying activities in the world! With it you can make just about anything! Patience is important for both the student and instructor. I remind students that they couldn't run when they stood up the first time so I don't want them to be too hard on themselves when everything doesn't go right the first time. I remind them when they've done something right, even if it's a do-over, and explain why it's important for their finished product and satisfaction with it! Let's do this sewing thing! I think you'll love it. I know I do!...

My service stands out because I provide various art services that isn't targeted towards a particular audience but can be enjoyable for everyone! I enjoy connecting with other creatives and the vibes/energy that comes from painting and being able to create from what inspires/ influences me!
