I’m Ashley, a painter and photographer based in San Antonio, Texas, creating work that reveals the sacred woven through everyday life.

My creative path has wound through dance, theater, photography, and design. I spent over a decade as a professional photographer, founding Five01 Photo + Design with my husband in 2014, and also worked as a life purpose coach guiding women through transformation. Both taught me to see the extraordinary hidden in ordinary moments and the power of inviting others to look deeper.

But I realized my path wasn’t just about capturing or coaching others’ stories—it was about creating visual experiences that invite people into wonder, stillness, and spiritual connection. Creating is when I feel most alive, most myself, and most connected to God.

My work explores spiritual realities, beauty, and human nature through the lens of the natural world. I’m drawn to vibrant color, light and shadow, and symbolic composition. My art invites viewers to pause, look closer, and experience the sacred in the ordinary—whether through surreal painted landscapes or quiet photographic moments captured during travels.

When I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me exploring new places with my camera, spending time with my family, or dreaming up the next creative adventure.
