Ashley Kay is an emerging visual artist currently
working out of Buffalo, NY. As an artist Ashley’s work focuses
primarily on drawing, painting, and wearable art design. After graduating from Buffalo State College with a degree in Art in 2012, Ashley began job searching with the hopes of finding a career that immersed her in the worlds of art or fashion. After job searching for quite some time and becoming discouraged with the creative job opportunities in her area, She decided that instead of looking for a career, she was going to turn her then, art hobby, into the profitable career she had been searching for. She began building an "inventory" of artwork during the down time her daytime office job until she had a sizable amount of artwork produced. This led to her having enough confidence in her talents to start selling her work. She began participating in local art festivals in the Buffalo area in 2014, going from participating in just 1 festival her first year, to participating in about 15 the next in 2015 across New York State. She began expanding her art knowledge and experiences in design when she was asked to be the head designer in the 2015 Buffalo Fashion Show. Ashley finally had enough courage at the end of 2015 to break free of her full time office job to pursue a creative career path. - Linkin (online June 2021) |

Kay is an emerging visual artist currently working out of
Buffalo, NY. As an artist Ashley’s work focuses primarily on
drawing, painting, and wearable art design. After graduating
from Buffalo State College with a degree in Art in 2012, Ashley
began job searching with the hopes of finding a career that
immersed her in the worlds of art or fashion. After job
searching for quite some time and becoming discouraged with the
creative job opportunities in her area, She decided that instead
of looking for a career, she was going to turn her then, art
hobby, into the profitable career she had been searching for.
She began building an "inventory" of artwork during the down

her talents to start selling her work. She began participating
in local art festivals in the Buffalo area in 2014, going from

State. She began expanding her art knowledge and experiences in
design when she was asked to be the head designer in the 2015
Buffalo Fashion Show. Ashley finally had enough courage at the
end of 2015 to break free of her full time office job to pursue
a creative career path. She wanted to focus on the expansion of
her art business and dedicate her time towards growing as an
independent artist. Having gone above her own expectations of
growth over the past year, Ashley is now ready to begin to take
her artwork to the next level and build a full collection of
work to be showcased in her first solo art exhibition in the
spring of 2016. She hopes to exhibit more frequently this year
on a national and international level. |
