ABOUT ME
Hello there! I'm Ashley Kunz and I'm a self-taught abstract artist from Moorhead, MN.

I've been inspired by art all my life and was quite the hobbyist and crafter. I was always working on a project. It wasn't until I began producing artwork consistently at the beginning of 2012 that I considered myself to be an artist. I currently spend most of my days (and nights!)in my basement studio which I lovingly refer to as "Autumn in December".

In June 2015 I received worldwide recognition when I was selected to be a Diamond Artist for global acrylic paint brand Liquitex. Since then I have received 3 grants, two from Lakes Region Arts Council and the other from The Arts Partnership.

I have exhibited my work in the Plains Art Museum, The Uptown Gallery, The Hjemkomst Center and in a variety of local businesses ranging from hospitals to the tap room in a brewery.

My art reflects a combination of my love of nature and my life-long affection toward fantasy to create whimsical paintings that stretch the imagination but still have the comfort of feeling familiar.

My preferred media is acrylics but I am always open to experiment with other mediums as well. Recently I began working with alcohol ink and am loving the stained-glass effects you can create with it.

I would love for you to visit my Facebook page or follow me on Instagram to stay up to date with my work and see behind the scenes footage, progress pictures, tips & tricks and of course, all of my newly completed work!

Thank you for stopping by and please convo me if you have any questions or suggestions!

xoxo,
Ashley Kunz

ABOUT MY ART
::My body of work is a bold mix of styles, ranging from sleek and contemporary to rough and organic. I create my acrylic and ink paintings by layering vibrant colors to form amorphous shapes with delicate lines that appear to dance on canvas. I find inspiration in people and nature and use color, composition and texture to inspire the viewer to connect with my artwork on an emotional level.

SPECIFICS ABOUT MY PAINTINGS
:: My paintings are signed, dated, and are ready to hang. I don't frame my artwork but I do paint the sides with black, white or the main color of the piece. ::
