CV
Ashley Sloan longs for, yet is cynical of, youthful self-indulgence and ignorance. Sloan's work portrays the moment when one involuntarily shakes off the shroud of stability and carelessness, to a reveal an adult life of hope, disappointment, and realistic worldview. Her drawings, paintings, and objects contain a subtle usage of humor, contradiction and delicateness to create a common understanding of this maturing process.
About
Born December 11, 1983 in the small town of Albany, Oregon. Ashley Sloan lives and works in Portland, Oregon. She received her Bachelors of Fine Arts from the University of Oregon in Eugene, OR in 2007.
