Ashley Woodson Bailey was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas. She earned a BFA in Art History and Art from the University of Texas at Austin. Before pursuing a career as an artist, Ashley was a floral designer for over two decades in Dallas, Houston, New York City, Savannah, Atlanta and Austin. After a life-changing accident that left her unable to work for large-scale events, she sought to create a lasting flower arrangement through the lens of a camera and began her journey as a self-taught photographer.Ashley's signature "florography" art prints launched in 2014. Her eponymous brand naturally expanded to include wallpapers, fabrics, collages, and limited-edition products as her desire to live among the flowers grew. Her inaugural collection "Dark" was inspired by the transition of the flower from blossom to fading stem and the deep desire to preserve this metamorphosis as a frozen moment in time.Ashley's work has been published in Domino, Flower Magazine, Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Gardenista, and Design Sponge among others, and also featured in the homes of Jessica Alba and Erin Foster. She creates her "forever flowers" in Jacksonville, Florida.
