Originally from oil-refinery lined horizons of Ohio, Ashlee now exists as an artist in Chicago. In 2013 Ashlee received her Bachelors of Fine Arts with an emphasis in printmaking from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Although Ashlee studied printmaking in her undergraduate years, her artwork travels across various mediums such as screen printing, letterpress, woodcut relief, drawing, painting, photography, performance, collage, and neon. Ashlee’s time growing up in the middle of America has left her work concerned with ideas of consumption and communication as well as the disruption of the everyday. Billboards and strip malls supply plenty of source material for her work.

Ashlee will be co-teaching with Ness Rago.
