Ashley Weinberg (Illustration BFA, Grand Valley State University), is a Michigan born and raised 
illustrator with a passion for creating warm and uplifting work. She has taken a liking to character design, children’s books, and painterly environment illustrations with a heavy focus on color and lighting, and she tends to never go without a splash of fun color! Ashley will occasionally pick up a mechanical pencil or paintbrush, but mainly creates her newest pieces of work using Photoshop on a Microsoft Surface Pro. Her style draws from nature-inspired whimsy and appreciating the small things in life. 

One of Ashley's largest artistic inspirations has always been animated media, especially 2D, and she believes you are never too old for it! When not creating art, Ashley dabbles in photography, casual board games/console games, a bit of writing, enjoying the fall season a little too much, and walking her goldendoodle.
