About Me


Valerie Ashley is an eclectic bohemian who sculpts, drinks coffee and lives in the woods of Rhode Island.
She sculpts figurative and fantasy art, paints, loves music, live theater, independent films & BOOKS! Free time usually finds her in bookstores, art supply shops, antique stores, or lying on her back looking at the stars.
She lives with two "feral furballs" that tolerate her; a 16 year old adopted pug, two rowdy "rescued" Rhode Island Red hens, three amazing kids that are grown now, and three little men who call her "Greenie", lol.
She prefers to be outdoors, in the woods, on a mountain, sitting by a fire, and far away from concrete, cities and people.

Trees have been sacred for thousands of years in all cultures, however, its only in the last few hundred years that their importance has diminished, and their availability taken more and more for granted. Think on what they give to us and ask nothing in return. They give us shelter, food, fuel...and air. Our existence on Earth is interconnected with these magnificent beings. It is in that spirit that I began to paint faces on the beautiful leaves in my area. I start out with an idea in mind but inevitably the leaf always decides what it wants instead.
