Carly Ashdown

Carly has always been driven by a deep interest in the human experience. All of her childhood drawings focused on human interaction and emotions and this influence only grew stronger with the passing years. After completing an arts degree in Leeds in 2004 she focused herself on a new educational path. Feeling a deep kinship to the questioning minds of Alan Watts and Bill Hicks she then went on to work in Transformation, where she became a coach, and later spent two years training in counseling and Psychotherapy at the Tavistock in London.

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.
