How to balance art and mental health with Ashley Wright


Listen Later

Thank you for listening to the LA Artist Podcast, where we chat with local artists about their works, style, what influenced them to start their artist journey and more.

The colorful textures of Ashley’s paintings are one of the biggest staples of her art and have taken 2D work into 3D! Having an intuitive approach to painting and striving to let go and let the painting be perfectly imperfect. With a background in classical music, she uses music to mesh with her style and she has leaned into City Pop and more instrumental Vapor Wave to help focus and unfocus the mind to get into the groove of painting in a colorful style.

We talk about C-PTSD and how Ashley has been able to find help, find a balance and find comfort in her art to be able to show that you can still thrive as an artist who is dealing with mental health. She gave great advice from her own experience and it was a deep and meaningful conversation we had.

Quote of the Ep(43:45): “Get out there, show yourself. Tell people you are making art now, let them know what you are doing!”
