Ashlee Gillespie is an artist native to Northern California who finds her inspiration for her abstract landscapes in the unique natural settings of her surroundings.  The ocean, forests, skies and fields all provide the artist with everything she needs to create her images.  The micro-worlds around her are as important as the entire scene.  It’s as common to see a piece that derives from forest floor where a mushroom lives, as it is to see the vast endlessness of the ocean.

Works are created primarily in watercolor although Ashlee also works in ink, acrylic, oil, and printmaking.  Her style continues to change through her intensive study of materials and artistic techniques.  Just as Ashlee traverses the natural world, she continues to explore through different media, never content to settle on any single subject or method.  The result is an exciting series that will come and go just as the sun rises and sets. Ashlee’s artwork is to be experienced and enjoyed like a beautiful moment in nature.

When not painting Ashlee is busy being a wife, mother, daughter and store owner. She co-owns Color Theory Art Supplies with her husband Kirk, in glorious Napa, California.
