Artist


Ascha is an only child and spent a lot of her childhood in solitude, often preferring the fantasy world of her imagination to the reality of the grim and sober world around her. Days would be spent with antique dolls, re-creating a decadent world of yesteryear, a time and place when the world would appear to be a fairground attraction, a place where primal joy existed.

You can see in Ascha’s work the reflection of the haze and simplicity of a child-like memory of those decadent days so strongly imagined. There is a simplistic lustfulness and romanticism that is revealed in the style used to represent imagined fantasies and memories in a time and place unaffected by all the modern and mundane complications of life.

Ascha is an artist from London and currently has her studio set up at Glendon Hall, Northamptonshire, England.
