About Me
My name is Ashley Keene, and I am an artist and designer living and working in Dana Point, California. I have had a love for creating art my entire life but have only started to commit to my passion since 2007.
Living by the beach, I am constantly inspired by my surroundings and the natural beauty that exists so effortlessly around me. The colors in a sunset, or the alpine glow in the Sierra Nevada provoke abstract ideas that I enjoy converting into my own artwork.
Thanks for taking the time to check out my website. I plan on continuing to grow and evolve as an artist with the support of my friends and family, and can only hope to continue to push the limits of my imagination through the world of visual art.

"Ashley Keene is a mixed media visual artist and designer from Dana Point, California. Growing up near the beach, her artwork has been heavily influenced by the local surf culture and ocean vistas, inspiring an array of bright colors that give her artwork a surreal and dreamlike ambiance.
Most of Keene's favorite work is unbound by the traditional canvas, as she prefers to recycle and repurpose a variety of materials, from broken surf and skateboards, to overly scratched vinyl records.
Keene has gained much of her experience working with various artists at companies such as Lost Enterprises and O'Neill Clothing. In recent years, she has contributed to public art in South Orange County through participation in programs such as the Laguna Beach Banner Competition and the San Clemente Street Art Program. In 2013, Keene was chosen from over 1,000 artists as the only local artist to paint an elephant for the Elephant Parade exhibition in Dana Point."
