Carly Ashdown painting

Carly Ashdown exhibition

2nd July- 6th August 2010


An exhibition of paintings by Carly Ashdown, an artist using the human form as her main subject matter. She uses paint and other media to create a myriad of emotions which echo the human experience. After completing an arts degree in Leeds in 2004 Carly focused on a new educational path training in Counseling and Psychotherapy at the Tavistock Institute, London.

Feeling a deep kinship to the questioning minds of philosopher Alan Watts and comedian Bill Hicks, Carly was inspired to explore her own relationship to life and particularly the idea of personal transformation. These explorations of how we have come to understand ourselves, the world and our place in it have deeply influenced Carly's art.

"We tend to limit ourselves through our fixed perceptions. My work is an invitation to step into a way of perceiving beyond what we know in our everyday lives."
