THE ARTWORLD OF ASHLEY E PIERCE B.A.

Ashley was an accomplished artist, and was studying ART at the University of Montana.Throughout her illness, her desire was to graduate, and she worked hard to achieve that end..Although, in the end, the illness overtook her, she recieved an honorary degree afew days before she passed.

She had many of her works shown, and also had a one man show, whilst at the University

Ashley loved the abstract...She often laughed when people tried to "see" things in her work..She said it was just to be enjoyed as it was...She seemed to be particularly fond of 'wheels' as alot of her sketches and paintings would have a wheel put in somewhere!

Ashleys brother, Kyle, is presently compiling a book showing hundreds of pieces of her work...Here are afew examples !

A wheelie example!

The last two pieces show Ash' frustration with her illness, although she rarely ever showed this side to anyone else

"I want this over, so I can start".
