Ashley Garrett
b. 1984
Ashley Garrett (b. 1984 Dover, NJ) received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Her paintings and drawings explore perceptual and emotional experience, often evoking landscapes, shifting states of consciousness, and the unseen forces that shape our inner and outer worlds. Garrett’s practice moves fluidly between small-scale, hand-held paintings that invite intimacy and touch, and large-scale immersive works that engage the body and physical space.Garrett has had solo and two-person exhibitions at SEPTEMBER (Kinderhook, NY), Gold / Scopophilia Gallery (Montclair, NJ), Hood Gallery (Brooklyn, NY), Chase Gallery (West Hartford, CT), SRO (Brooklyn, NY), Six Depot (West Stockbridge, MA), RISD Memorial Hall Gallery (Providence, RI), and SEPTEMBER (Hudson, NY). Her work has been included in group exhibitions at the Katonah Museum (Katonah, NY), Torrance Art Museum (Los Angeles, CA), COL Gallery (San Francisco, CA), Gallery Ondo (Seoul, Korea), Gallery G (Hiroshima, Japan), Ladies’ Room (Los Angeles, CA), Tappeto Volante (Brooklyn, NY), Louise Nevelson Chapel (New York, NY), Love Apple Art Space (Ghent, NY), The Painting Center (New York, NY), Regina Rex (New York, NY), Planthouse (New York, NY), Orgy Park (Brooklyn, NY), Nurture Art (Brooklyn, NY), Geoffrey Young Gallery (Great Barrington, MA), TSA LA (Los Angeles, CA), Cross Contemporary Art (Saugerties, NY), and Hudson Hall (Hudson, NY), among others.
Garrett was awarded the Martha Boschen Porter Grant in 2021. She collaborates with poets including Billie Chernicoff, Tamas Panitz, Robert Kelly, George Quasha, and Lila Dunlap, reflecting her interest in dialogue between visual and literary forms. She has curated exhibitions in New York and Los Angeles, including Upstate Gnarly, which featured in The New York Times, Chronogram, and Times Union. Garrett has also interviewed artists such as Katherine Bernhardt, Lisa Sanditz, Ann Craven, Judith Linhares, Brenda Goodman, Lori Ellison, and choreographer Melissa Fenley for publications including Whitehot Magazine, Figure/Ground, and Painting is Dead.
