"My latest works are created with an eye toward environmental stewardship."

Ashley Cecil is a Pittsburgh-based artist specializing in paintings and sculptural works of flora and fauna that illustrate connections between the natural world and its inhabitants. Her intricate style, reminiscent of European tapestries and wallpapers, is refreshingly modern. She paints from observation of wildlife at institutions like the National Aviary, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, and Tree Pittsburgh, and these experiences shape her artistry.
