Ashton-Kaleigh CV

Profile:
Art is therapy. Art is the expression of what is going on internally and externally, commenting on or questioning the self or society. I believe that expression through art is something to be enjoyed by all. I wish to share my passion with anyone and everyone willing to venture into the imagination. My goal is to instill a sense of wonder and enchantment. I am a El Paso Art Association member and a resident artist at the art and souvenir shop El Paso's Finest in downtown El Paso.
