Introducing Kori Ashton

She is an artist whose paintings are unique, not only in style and size, but also in her use of wooden canvases. She creates each piece with several different forms of media and tools such as stone, glass, sandpaper and newspaper. Instead of using only brushes, Kori Ashton prefers sticks, spatulas, and, at times, simply her hands. Some of her more interesting pieces include "found art" as well. You can hire Kori Ashton to create a unique piece of art for your home, office or restaurant.

BIO:
Art dates back several generations in my family, but for more than 13 years, music was my art. I traveled all over the world singing and playing the guitar with my little five-piece band. However, in 2004 I left the professional music scene to move back to Texas to be closer to my family and finish my degree. Life off the road quickly sent me searching for a way to vent my artistic side.

A year later while in college, I met a professor named Ita Borger-Boglin, a great artist! She encouraged me to start expressing myself through any form of art. So, I started painting... My first piece "My World" was 8 foot tall and 4 foot wide. It still hangs in my living room today.

It has been just passed six years now, and I've have sold over 200 paintings that can be found in private collections around the world. I am so amazed and blessed that people enjoy my art as much as I do! You can stay connected with me for all the latest shows and artwork available for sale on my facebook page.
