ABOUT ME

Currently nomadic but a.native of central Alabama and award-winning artist, Ashley Denise Chancellor, specializes in original and commissioned works in a variety of mediums ranging from charcoal, pencils, and pastels to acrylic and mixed media. Versatile and entirely self-taught, she finds inspiration in cultural photography and portraiture, the capricious, emotionally complex nature of color and patterns, and the challenge of helping clients see their visions for good art become vibrant, valuable realities. Her influences are both personal and varied, and extend from her Grandmother, Lenorah Gibbons to big-name artists like Frida Kahlo, Ralph Steadmen, and Ashish Hash. Smooth Mellow Art Studios, is wherever she is as she tethers between Florida and her home state Alabama. She has contributed work to several organizations and events, such as the School of Rock for Cornerstone Schools of Alabama, you can see more in the Charity Hall. She is currently collaborating on multiple projects with local creatives, influencers and publications. Ashley founded and is lead Curator of the Free Art Birmingham, AL Chapter as the FART Fairy. It is a community organization participating in the Free Art Movement, better known as Free @rt Bham. She and her team have successfully launched a second chapter in Panama City, FL where many Birmingham creatives are tied. When she isn’t arting, she enjoys the excitement of music shows, the simplicity of time with family and friends, and the joy of giving her time and resources to those who need them most.
