About the Artist
Tucson native, Ashley Chamberlain has been building quality furniture for the past twenty five years. Her Southwest Desert style and the vibrant colors she chooses are what make each piece unique. With a bachelor’s degree in set design, Ashley’s gift for building and creating functional art made itself known when she was a student at the University of Arizona. Since graduating in 1992, she has built a successful business around her creations. Long before the Green Movement began, Ashley used recycled wood for her projects. Most of this wood once served as warehouse shelving. New wood contains more moisture, causing it to warp and crack as it dries; old wood is drier and less likely to split. Furthermore, older wood has a tighter grain and a rich patina that simply can’t be manufactured. Several years ago Ashley began experimenting with her furniture painting techniques and brought new life to many of her old drawings. Since then she has created over 30 new paintings using the same vibrant style and technique.

About the Process
I was born in Tucson, Arizona and mainly feature local images in my paintings. I paint on hardboard with spray paint and acrylics, layering and scraping to give the painting a distinct depth of color. I finish each original painting with a three-dimensional frame that compliments and completes the piece. I have framed giclée prints for sale in various sizes as well. Additionally, I build and paint furniture made from recycled wood.
Virtual Studio Tour
This is the entrance to my shop were I do all of my creating. For most of my life it was the stable where we kept our horses. The shop is usually a disaster, so it is best that it is just seen from the outside. It is a very peaceful and private place and the cool thing is it is right next to our chicken coop so I am never lonely.
I have a small showroom in the house where I display some of my finished art and furniture. Throughout a normal year, I am usually set up at art shows. I am currently working on getting my showroom organized and ready for an Open Studio. I currently have over 30 designs that can be seen on my website and purchased in various sized giclée prints.
For those looking for something new, I have just finished 8 new paintings that I am excited to share. I am currently in the process of making giclée prints of these 8 and will have them available on my website shortly. Also, I have quite a few pieces of finished furniture and as well as pieces that I have already built and they are ready to paint.
