art delivery : 12.09.23

Georgia based artist Ashley Benton is our ‘member in the spotlight today’! I love all of the wonderful characters she creates, but that final little lady is titled “World’s Grumpiest Girl” which for some reason makes me ridiculously happy. As does this:

Ashley’s work is based on the emotional experience of living a life.She attempts to unveil the marvelous in the everyday, create a sense of wonder, engage her mind and open a dialogue with the viewer. The work is never an exact representation much like a writer of fiction. The work hovers in the in-between —Less than Reality More than a Dream.

Sigh. You can find Ashley on Instagram at @a_bentonarts.

… and that’s only four of the helpful resources they have! Today’s ART DELIVERY is brought to you by Art Fluent’s fabulous artist resource list. So many helpful links, lists, etc. Well, actually, here’s a better description:
