Behind the Brushstrokes: Getting to Know Ashley Simone

Step into the vibrant world of Simone Bee Artistree, curated by Ashley Simone, a Philadelphia-based self-taught artist. From an early age, she has always been captivated by different realms of creativity, whether it's through the strokes of a paintbrush, the grace of dance, or the harmonies of music. Ashley fully embraced her passion for painting in 2016, using acrylics as a powerful means of expressing thoughts and emotions that words often fall short of capturing.

In Ashley's artistic realm, the color black takes center stage, defying its conventional connotations, harmoniously intertwined with bold and vivid hues that effortlessly catch the eye. Her creations primarily focus on the portrayal of women, delving into the exploration of femininity, black culture, and the beautiful connections that bind humanity together.

 

As Ashley's artistic journey unfolds, she envisions broadening her horizons, transcending the confines of 2D spaces to embrace the allure of 3D mediums, while also stretching the boundaries of her canvas.

Thank you for joining Ashley on this artistic journey at Simone Bee Artistree, where art is a language that speaks to the soul.
