About Ashley Messer

Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to get to know me; I'd also love to get to know you a little more too!

I've always been passionate about the arts, but my professional back ground began with Graphic Design. I also spent over 10 years competitively barrel racing, training horses and giving horseback riding lessons.

But Graphic Design and I just didn't connect. I began to want to settle down and grow my family. I was happiest helping others and creating with my hands!

After years of working in areas of teaching part time, I finally decided to take the leap and work for myself. Create art and help others at the same time.

Horses are still in the picture (we own 3!) and I still love teaching!
