Ashley Amery is a San Diego born, London-based artist.
Her practice draws upon line and pattern making as a means of investigation. Amery works on paper in fine detail to create beautiful paintings full of botanical and abstract forms.
The process of revisiting a piece many times and allowing it to build organically is essential to her practice. She uses gouache paint, a medium that has been associated with picture making for hundreds of years. Gouache creates a unique opaque surface that is perfect for weaving together pattern and form.
