Ashley Maidon was born and raised in North Carolina to the sound of Duke basketball, NASCAR and “hold my beer.” After graduating from high school, I found myself directionless, moving around and taking general education courses. In community college, I met two very awesome art instructors and from then on I knew a creative major was where I belonged. After getting accepted to the one and only university I applied to and meeting more amazing instructors and new friends, I found that printmaking was cool but photography is way better!
I'm interested in how creativity, artistry, and technology fill the mold of innovation. As a still photographer, I realize the need in me to expand my storytelling through different mediums within photography as well as other investigations in sculpture and printmaking. Sometimes I want to learn as much as possible and then plan a specific route to explore new concepts in my art-making. I am currently living in the great state of North Carolina and working for a financial institution.
