| Artist's
Statement |
Most of my subject matter is found in Britain’s landscape. Instant recognition is not one of my aims, my subjects are often viewed from a different perspective and hopefully invite thoughtful interpretation and reflective interaction. Recent work has it’s origins in daily walks, seeing the complexity of winter twigs and dried stems, with their subtle colours in sunlight, the effects of hoar frosts and the suggestions of landscapes glimpsed beyond.

| Biography |
Mike Ashley worked for two years
in the design and display studio at Dickens and Jones, London,
before training at the Hornsey College of Art for four years,
where he specialised in painting and lithography. He then went
on to teach art for many years.
He draws many inspirations for his paintings from his interest
in Prehistory, History, Ancient Artefacts, Fossils, Photography
and Technology in all its amazing developments.
Mike is also a member of 49 & Rising.
