My love for bright colors and surrealistic imagery started early on. As a young child, I was inspired by the bright lights, billboards, and theaters of NYC, as well as the psychedelic band posters my parents had up in the house. However, my passion for art sparked unexpectedly years later when one small drawing on my bedroom wall quickly developed into a four wall mural. Fed by an urge to escape high school life, I surrounded myself with a world all my own. After high school, I graduated from Sonoma State University where I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting. Now I continue to develop my art full time at my studio, located in my hometown of Fairfax, California. You can see more of my oil paintings on my website at www.ArtByAshleyBell.com
