The artist

Meet Ashley

Hi, I'm Ashley! What started as painting a banner for a friend's birthday turned into my favorite thing to do. Every banner is sketched and painted by hand on kraft paper — no two are ever the same. Tell me about your event and I'll make something worth keeping long after the party.
