Ashely Peifer
Ashely Peifer speaks to us from her backyard studio about UFOs, muddy paint water, and Carl Jung.
I work intuitively while letting my mind wander, creating compositions that are multi-layered and textured. Each painting reveals itself as I work and, when finished, is a crystallization of its own esoteric processes – a new visual universe.
About the Artist
Ashely Peifer (b.1986) is a St. Paul, Minnesota-based artist whose paintings and collages feature a recurring vocabulary of floating forms and vibrant colors. Drawn to unknowable mysteries on earth and in space, Ashely’s work is a commitment to exploring life's existential questions through paint. Despite the spontaneity of her arrangements, each individual element in Ashely’s work is purposefully organized, allowing each piece to function individually while existing harmoniously within the constellation of her practice as a whole.
