Discover the Illustrative Art of Ashlea James
Welcome to Ashlea James Art Studio, where passion meets creativity. I am a self taught artist from Dorset, England. All of my illustrative fine art oil paintings are hand painted in my home studio - my haven. I paint all matter of things, but I mostly enjoy portraiture and capturing people's likenesses.
If you are interested in bespoke pieces then please do not hesitate to contact me via the contact form or my email address ashleajamesartstudio@gmail.com

Ashlea’s painting 'Bees and Flowers' is stunning. I love the colours and purchasing from her has been easy and professional.
