ASH 2

Meet Ashley, Our Featured Artist

Ashley is an incredible artist whose passion for all things creative shines through in every piece she creates. I first met Ashley at a small art show in a quaint town, and I was immediately captivated by her work. As someone who loves art and could spend all day exploring galleries, meeting Ashley was a memorable experience. She is one of those rare individuals whose kindness and genuine heart are evident from the moment you meet her.

What truly stood out to me was Ashley's unique focus on donuts as the central theme of her art. She discovered her artistic vision early on and has stuck with it, creating pieces that are both whimsical and profound. I was so taken with her work that I purchased two pieces on the spot—an original that now hangs proudly in my kitchen and a snake-themed piece that my son adores. He loved it so much that we even had it custom-framed in snake skin.

Ashley is also a dedicated art teacher, inspiring junior high students in Katy, Texas, to explore their own creativity. Her ability to balance teaching and creating art is a testament to her talent and passion. We’re thrilled to have Ashley as part of the Books & Brushstrokes community and can’t wait to share more of her incredible work with you.

Meet Nicole Brummett

Nicole Brummett is an artist with a passion for abstract and pop-style art. Her creative journey began when she couldn’t find art that truly resonated with her, leading her to start making her own pieces. Nicole believes that art, like a great book, should invite personal interpretation, allowing viewers to see their own vision and meaning in each work. Her pieces are designed to evoke unique emotions and perspectives, encouraging the audience to find their own connection.
In addition to her artistic pursuits, Nicole works full-time in the automotive industry while also attending school. She balances her career and education with being a dedicated mother to her eight-year-old son. Her love for the fine arts extends beyond painting, as she is also learning to play the violin and fiddle, adding another layer of creativity to her life.
Nicole's art reflects her belief in the power of imagination, offering viewers the opportunity to find something personal in every piece she creates.
