HI FRIEND, AND WELCOME TO MY CREATIVE CORNER OF THE INTERNET. MY NAME IS ASHLEY, AND I AM A SELF-TAUGHT ARTIST AND THE SOLE CREATIVE BEHIND AMARIE ABSTRACTS.

AMARIE WAS BORN OUT OF MY LOVE FOR CREATING ABSTRACT WORKS. THE ART OF CREATION ITSELF HAS ALWAYS FELT LIKE A FORM OF MEDITATION TO ME, HOWEVER ABSTRACT PIECES HAVE TAKEN AHOLD OF MY HEART IN RECENT YEARS DUE TO THEIR PROFOUND ABILITY TO CALM MY NERVOUS SYSTEM.

I BEGAN MY PROFESSIONAL ART CAREER IN 2020, AS SO MANY CREATIVES DID DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. I HAVE DABBLED IN MANY STYLES AND MEDIUMS OVER THE YEARS, BUT SHIFTED MY FOCUS TO ABSTRACT WORK IN 2022 WHEN MY SON FELL ILL AND LIFE'S STRESSORS BECAME TOO HEAVY. THE CREATIVE PROCESS OF BEING FLUID AND FINDING BEAUTY IN WHAT MY PERFECTIONIST BRAIN WOULD HAVE ONCE CONSIDERED "FLAWS" HAS BEEN SUCH A HEALING PROCESS FOR ME. IN TIME, MY ABSTRACT WORK TOOK ON NEW FORM, BLENDING CONTEMPORARY AND SURREALISM WITHIN THE ABSTRACTION. THIS MIXING OF STYLES FELT LIKE COMING HOME TO MYSELF, AND A NEW VERSION OF MY CREATIVE PROCESS WAS FOREVER BORN.

AMARIE ABSTRACTS FOCUSES ON THE BEAUTY AND IMPERFECTIONS OF THE WORLD AROUND US. I STRIVE TO CREATE AN ENERGY FIELD WITHIN EACH WORK OF ART; EVOKING POSITIVE FEELINGS SUCH AS SERENITY, STRENGTH, PURPOSE, AND HAPPINESS. THIS WORLD IS FILLED WITH SO MUCH MAGIC, AND I LOVINGLY CREATE EACH PIECE TO HELP YOU FIND THE MAGIC YOU SEEK.

XO,

ASHLEY
