Xuebing has published a photography book and been featured in several publications including The Washington Post and Colossal . In an interview with The Qi, she remarks on her “Mother of Pearl” series, “In 2017 I went through a difficult time in life. It was through that healing experience I was able to appreciate the gentleness and softness of flowers. It has taught me so much about self-love, the power of femininity so that I was able to heal myself and grow. It's interesting how some events in life can cut one's heart open and through the pain we find flowers grow.”

Ashley Mary - Illustrator, Designer, & Muralist

Photo of inspiring illustrator, designer, and muralist Ashley Mary smiling while in her studio standing in front of creative painting.

Ashley Mary (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist based out of Minnesota. Inspired by the shows she used to watch as a child in the 80’s and 90’s: Nickelodeon, Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, Sesame Street, Labyrinth and Clarissa Explains It All. Her studio work focuses on acrylic paintings and collage on paper. Thick textures, vibrant colors, graphic patterns, and organic and familiar shapes are her attempts to give attention to the unintentional and leave space to be surprised. Ashley sees her art as a form of karma, putting playful vibes into her pieces so that they may put the goodness back into the world.

  • Colorful pink, salmon, yellow, and orange hue mural on the front of a building including the windows, and doors. Organic shapes, lines, and dots overlap creating a fun and creative aesthetic.
  • Various paintings and illustrations by Ashley Mary hung on a wall in a studio. Creative color combinations, organic shapes, and sizes inspired by 80s & 90s cartoons.

In an interview with The Glossary, Ashley stresses the importance of women supporting other women artists, “We're obviously behind the curve on so many opportunities being lost. Let's take control of our own destiny and not wait for somebody else to provide the opportunities. Honestly, I'm not even really thinking about somebody's gender when I reach out to work with them, the females in my town are just making cool shit and I want to be a part of what they're doing. I do work with men when they have cool shit too, but the female population is saturated here of ladies making and doing. It's good female energy.”

Ashley’s clientele includes Starbucks, Google, Behr, Evereve, West Elm, Anthropologie, Nooworks, Minuty Vineyard, Summersalt, Untold Rebel, Explore MN, Dogwood Coffee, and more.
