About Rhea Ashcraft.
Self-taught, San Diego based painter born into a long-line of artists, Rhea is the pinnacle of creativity. Rhea's unique approach to the medium is based in abstract expressionism, a theoretical approach founded on the premise that an artist share their personality through spontaneity.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Georgia O’Keeffe, Clay Walker, Ashcraft has cultivated her own artistic process. These influences have greatly shaped her distinct style.
Rhea's techniques include layering, color therapy, affixing textures, incorporating healing crystals & gem stones. Rhea incorporates words and affirmations underneath the art piece to create a special piece to manifest your desires.
Artist Statement
“My paintings have been described as abstract but to me, they are simple explorations into physicality, texture, and an emotional journey through color. The work is a process of putting on and taking off, which reflects various layers of mediums.
The intention behind my art is that the observer will continue to discover a new perspective of the world, expansion in self-awareness, and be comfortable loving something that they may not completely understand.”
