Etsy Tuesdays: Ashley Findley

Today's feature for Etsy tuesdays is Ashley Findely of Natural Flavors, purveyor of everything art from greeting cards to photography to screen prints.  Besides Etsy, you can find her on her blog, website, facebook and here.

"Natural Flavors was born out of my MFA thesis. In food, natural flavors is an ingredient that can be anything: animal, vegetable or mineral; natural or synthetic. It is basically whatever you want it to be, which I find pretty creepy if I have to eat it, but when translated into art it evokes the imagination of the creator and viewer. Basically Natural Flavors is a mishmash of anything I want to make at the moment. I don't want to be held down by having a specific genre or item; I want to have the freedom to make whatever I'm excited about at the moment and keep a sense of excitement in the work.  Since it all comes from my aesthetic it visually makes sense together.

My mantra is about living a fun, happy and creative lifestyle and I strive to let that shine in my work and hopefully seep into the lives of others."
