Carolynn Ashley

Realism and Whimsical Charm reflected in representations of nature’s wonders.

Carolynn, a Canadian artist residing in both Kelowna and Vancouver, B.C., specializes in realistic art using acrylic paint on canvas.  She enjoys pushing herself to explore new art forms and selecting challenging subjects to paint.

Although Carolynn painted in her youth, she put her passion on hold while raising her family and pursuing a successful career as a draftsperson. In 2013, Carolynn underwent a quintuple bypass surgery that prompted her to make significant lifestyle changes.  As a result, she decided to slow down and revive her interest in painting.  

Carolynn draws inspiration from her rural Canadian upbringing, past travels to Europe and Africa, and exploring her own backyard.
