Ashley Rader lives in Atlanta, USA, and specialises in lifelike animal painting.
Her travels as a child and adult are the source of the uniqueness and complexity of her paintings. She paints each individual animal hair on the canvas until a fur structure consisting of delicate layers emerges. With this detailed approach, Ashley Rader strives to create an intimate connection with her subjects and express a deep appreciation for the animal world. The dark and simple compositions highlight the animals and illuminate their beauty and grace.
