Create boldly & discover yourself.

Art isn’t just something you make,

it’s something that makes you.

Hey,

I’m Ashley

I’m Ashley Rodriguez Reed, artist, educator, and your kid’s new favorite art mentor. I teach art from my home studio outside of Tokyo and online, so kids get real immersive English practice while creating work they’re proud of. For adults, I host relaxed, roll-up-your-sleeves workshops where you’ll leave with fresh ideas, a piece you love, and maybe a little paint on your elbows.

And when I’m not teaching, I’m making my own fine art and textiles rooted in story, nature, and a deep love for sustainable design.

…that reflects your vibrant, multifaceted, and endlessly inspiring journey.

Come print, brush bold color, and make messes in a studio where everyone’s welcome. From beginners to lifelong makers, we make art that’s experimental and builds real confidence in your voice.

Playful, bold and sophisticated patterns that bring imagination and fun into the everyday of your life.

Art and textile designs crafted for those ready to jump into a colorful whimsical world.
