Nonetheless she does describe getting more serious about her oeuvre in 1990 when she immersed herself in creating countless oil paintings that were inspired not only by the insatiable need for expression, but also by the many television artists of that time. She recounts making 'happy mistakes' that led her deeper into art fever, which in turn segued into greater public demand to purchase her inventory; thwarting the need for a small warehouse as her clientele burgeoned beyond the United States into Europe. Eventually life took a more serious turn and in response she demurred over her art, never knowing if or when she would return to her brushes and charcoal sticks.
Yet Ashley now intimates that the pendulum has once more swung her way with a fervent desire and inspiration over the fascinating world of art, that in turn has led to her release of unseen works archived in her private collection. In addition, she has afforded the public an opportunity to witness the latest turn of her legacy in which she incorporates 'chiaroscuro' into her charcoals in a manner uniquely suited again to her own style, rather than renditioning Caravaggio. For this reincarnated artist, the path of awe-inspiring beauty and tranquility is what motivates both she and her public.
