"Learning to be open to art is also about learning to be open to life’s journey and the viewpoints of those you meet along the way." So says Ashley Wells, an acrylic painter who makes her home in Northern Virginia. Wells’ journey has involved moving 37 times, but no matter where she lives, her cityscapes reflect her ongoing desire to capture the unsung and overlooked beauty of urban life. While some might say Wells is a "self-taught" artist, she sees it differently. "Every step of my artistic journey has been guided by another artist. Some of the artists whose art I study are long gone, but others I am lucky enough to call ‘friend.’ All of these artistic viewpoints enrich my life and continually open new doors in my artistic experience."
