<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">Featured Artist</H2>
<IMG SRC="https://cdn.evbuc.com/eventlogos/77824629/ashleigh.jpg" ALT="ashleigh">
Ashleigh Caffey is a New York-based artist and designer. She creates large-scale vibrant paintings mimcking nature. Caffeys paintings are visual desserts; although self-indulgent at times, her paintings and subjects are chosen very carefully. Her art ranges from painting to design to music production. 
She moved to New York in 2002 to attend The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science & Art. Her work has been exhibited in Lower East Side galleries - Con Artist Collective, Van Der Plas Gallery and at The Cooper Hewitt. She claims NY as her second home, and the bayous of New Orleans is her first. Always returning to her roots of jazz and New Orleans culture, Caffey uses a gumbo mix of animal figures, primary hues, and a bit of feng shui for good luck to invite higher consciousness into her own space. On a journey of self-mastering, valuing the present moment, and awareness of inherent human/animal nature, she uses her paintings to bring us closer to ourselves.
Caffey currently resides in Astoria, and survives NY as a Digital Art Directer for Calvin Klein.
