ASHLEY WOODSON BAILEY:  Saturday, November 17, at 2:00 p.m.

A self-taught photographer, Ashley’s signature “florography” art prints launched in 2014. Her eponymous brand naturally expanded to include wallpaper, fabrics, and limited-edition products as her desire to live among flowers grew. Each of Ashley’s patterns begins with inspiration from fresh flowers. She forages, visits her floral market and partners with floral farmers to hand-select an array of blooms before studying and arranging them in her signature, wildly organic style. As inspiration strikes, she transforms the final image into patterns, prints, and limited-edition products. She creates her “forever flowers” in Atlanta, GA, where she resides with her husband, Brad, three children, and her furry sidekicks, Goerge and Rose. When she is not in the Southeast, you can find her frequently daydreaming about her next trip to her beloved Texas and Australia. Visit www.ashleywoodsonbailey.com for more information.
