Ashten Engelman is a wife, mother of three and a freelance artist born and raised in Nebraska. Ever since a little girl, Ashten has been drawn to all things visual arts. Birthday and holiday gifts involved all things graphite, until she picked up a paintbrush for the first time in her freshman year art class. She continues to fall in love with painting every day since.
Being a student of perfectionism, abstract was always something Ashten struggled with until she learned, just recently, to let the flow of painting be run by her heart versus her head.
Her abstract art is influenced mostly by the music she is dancing and flowing to in the studio and reflects this very well. Pulling tones from her favorite pictures, objects and scenes, Ashten chooses each palette with her heart taking the wheel.
