Ashley Bailey is a New Jersey native who currently works in rural Ohio, teaching visual art to middle school students. Her primary medium is digital art, working from cartooning to realism, but has an expanded portfolio that includes printmaking, sculpture, and other traditional fine arts.

With a strong interest in cartooning and comics, she attended the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art for a year before changing her course to art education at Kent State University looking to seamlessly blend her life as an artist with the drive to inspire future generations of artists in the process.

Her day job allows her to work alongside students to create a foundation in art that allows middle schoolers to work with all types of mediums. While working on artwork for studio models in the classroom, Ashley also creates her personal artwork on the side and has been mostly focused on digital paintings for commissions. Ashley's original work can be seen on display at our South State Street gallery.
