Ashley De Vor is a 35-year-old Phoenix native and a dynamic presence in the Phoenix art community, where she has been actively creating and exhibiting for 17 years. Working primarily in ink, watercolor, and gouache, her art is characterized by bold, straightforward portraits and darker, emotionally charged themes, including monsters and misunderstood women who reclaim their power after trauma.

Ashley draws inspiration from mythology and folklore, weaving archetypes and stories from across cultures into her work. She finds highly detailed pieces to be deeply therapeutic, a practice informed in part by her early experience as a tattoo apprentice in her early 20s. Though naturally reserved, she is drawn to strong, assertive figures, using her art to explore qualities she admires—strength, confidence, and resilience. Her darker imagery reflects a fascination with complexity, vulnerability, and the ways people survive and assert themselves in challenging circumstances. Across her portfolio, she bridges personal introspection with universal human experiences, creating work that is both visually striking and emotionally resonant.
