An introduction can be a wonderful thing. You can meet interesting people, and make new friends. You can be introduced to your new favorite foods, books, music, or artist.
I’d like to introduce you to some of my favorite artists. Some of whom I’ve been familiar with for years, and others I’ve only recently been introduced to.
The person I’d like to introduce is the artist Ashley Garrett.
Ashley Garrett, Flood, 2013, oil on canvas, 36 x 34 inches.
Ashley Garrett was born in Dover, New Jersey, 1984.
She lives and works in New York City
Ashley Garrett, Fit, 2013, pastel and gouache on paper, 15.25 x 19.75 inches.
“Growing up in a small rural town in Northeastern Pennsylvania, a slate mining town with its now silenced quarry holes and obsolete tools, her work is infused with a sense of still contemplation and memory. These paintings and drawings reflect that stillness and weight and objects take on a totemic-like power when pressured through Garrett’s imagination.”
Ashley Garrett, Organ, 2012, charcoal on paper, 18 x 24 inches.
