BIO

Ashley Quick is a visual artist based in the Mountain West. Her folkloric work explores nature, place, and connection through printmaking, illustration, textiles, and public art. She holds a BA in Studio Art and a Master’s in Environment and Natural Resources from the University of Wyoming. She has been an art educator for over 10 years, and uses art to engage with both community and cause. Quick exhibits regularly in Wyoming and Colorado and has been featured in exhibitions nationwide.

My work reflects the visceral, beautiful, and sometimes tense relationship between human culture and the environment. Rooted in rural America, it explores how landscapes shape identity and how human activity, in turn, reshapes the land. I’m inspired by both scientific inquiry and lived experience, drawn to the grit, joy, and contradictions of place. Through my work, I aim to make the complex interplay of culture, class, and ecology more personal.
