Artist Statement:
I have always been captivated
by nature. And history – the
stories behind people and
buildings, objects and
animals – the story behind the
very ground I stand on. As a

the sun on my back and ...

| Your Personal Biography |
L. E. Ashley grew up in southeastern Massachusetts, studying painting as a teen with Leland Smith and later graduating from the University of MA. at Dartmouth. She has lived in many cities and towns around the state, but the rural areas remain her favorite. She currently resides in Westminster, MA with her chug dog and two cats, alternating her painting sessions with gourd-craft and woodworking.
L.E. (Lori) paints in her home studio from her photographs and imagination. She works in oil, creating scenes on old wooden panels and cabinet doors, often adding vintage hardware, rusty metal, and bits of natural materials such as birds' nests, bones and twigs. “I think of myself as a scavenger, a recycler,” Lori says. “I want my work to convey a sense of the history that I felt growing up among the old stone walls and barns of New England.” Most of her pieces are miniature -creating a sense of intimacy with the viewer- and often have a lonely, dreamlike quality expressed through the depiction of a solitary tree, or roaming animal.
