Lori Ashley (L.E. Ashley)- Lori grew up in Middleborough, Massachusetts. She studied painting under Middleborough's Leland Smith in the 1980s, and obtained a degree in Illustration from UMass Dartmouth. Passionate about the deep history flowing through Massachusetts, she gravitated to adding found objects and antique architectural elements to her assemblage art, using them to surround her focal point of a small oil painting or an antique photograph. Her pieces are mostly miniatures, designed to draw the viewer in for a very personal, nostalgic, and sometimes bittersweet experience. Lori can usually be found with her eyes to the ground looking for materials, or out in the cemeteries or wooded trails of Middleborough, breathing in the antiquity and feel of the area for inspiration.
