Hi there, I’m Ashley! I’m an illustrator and graphic designer living in central California, and selling my art is my full time job! My work consists of cute, spooky, witchy and botanical themes, and you may recognize my little character Periwinkle the Mushroom Boi! I sell online and at conventions, and I love to make vlogs and videos about my studio, convention experiences, and other tips that may help artists aspiring to do what I do. You can find me on YouTube and Tiktok, Instagram, or support me monthly on Patreon! 

You might be thinking, “le Spirit? Where did that name come from?” Well, there is a story! My first online alias was created in 2005 as “Spirit-the-Titan”, which was the name of my Teen Titans fan character. As time went on, I outgrew the bulky handle, and traded out dashes and “the” for “SpiritLeTitan”, which I finally retired at the end of 2017. However, this wasn’t the sort of title I wanted for my personal brand, though I wanted to retain the identity I had grown to know and love. Names like “Designs by Ashley” are much too generic and overdone, so I did some rearranging, and “le Spirit” was created in 2014!
