Description

Ashlee Bucholtz grew up in Oaky Park, Lithgow and developed a love for art and painting at an early age.

Having attended the Newcastle Art School and National Art School, she took valuable learnings as a person and an artist that helped shape her perspective.

“They (art schools) teach you how to challenge yourself and to challenge your skills, to have a standard that you want to achieve,” Ashlee said.

“But, also to understand that it’s okay to make a bad artwork. The more you fail the more successful you will be.”

Currently residing in the Blue Mountains, Ashlee continues to develop her artwork and spends time as a part-time art educator. The focus of her work is on ambiguous spaces using unconventional colour, stimulating the sensory experience for the viewer.
