Artist: Ashlei Franklin | Location: Marshall, NC
Marshall, NC
I am originally a Central Florida based artist who creates illustrations of insects, flowers and nature with colored pencil on paper. Recently graduated from high school, I've decided to take a gap year and move up North to simply create! I think nature in its essence is one of the few universal bodies that everyone can fully understand. The beauty and pure love it exudes moves within us effortlessly. My many adventures inspire me to create such pieces. Walks on Florida beaches, trips to the Carolinas, downtown strolls, I find inspiration everywhere! While drawing, I try to base my pieces off the childlike excitement I had when discovering the muse. I choose colors that reflect my intentions along with focusing on the details of realism in the work. It is important to me to create pieces that bring others a sense of wonderful whimsy within their own worlds.
