About Me
Hi I'm Laura (Ashley Live Art) and I'm a live event painter from Asheboro, NC. I bring the art process to life for audiences. I have a unique, bright & wild style and I'm excited to share that with you.
I began my art career when I was around six years old by painting people at the ocean for a $2 bill Later, I attended UNCW and graduated with a degree in Studio Art. During college, I worked part-time at a paint and sip studio. After graduating from UNCW, I purchased my own paint and sip studio in Southern Pines NC. While operating the studio, I also took a full time job as a high school art teacher in Asheboro, NC.
After five years of teaching and running a studio full time, I decided to leave high school teaching and pursue my newly discovered passion of live art painting. I’ve spent the past three years painting wedding ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, baby showers- almost every type of celebration known. I have truly fallen in love with charity live paintings. It has been such a blessing to be able to do what I love and at the same time contribute financially to the many charity organizations that I have become involved with.
