Ashley Herrera (she/her) latina, 22, INFP

My name is Ashley Herrera. I live in southern California my whole life. I always knew that art was important and a passion for me. Growing up, I always drew, painted, was in band, would try to recreate art pieces, and love going to museums. Being in a hispanic household, you grow up believing that you need to thrive for a career in something that will bring money. For the longest time, I believed that instead of pursuing my own passion. My junior year in high school, I had ceramics as an elective and thought nothing of it. Senior year came along, and i took it again because it was just very theraputic. However, my senior year was cut short due to Covid-19 and I really thought that was the end. In my first year in college, I just couldn't handle not changing my career to ceramics/studio arts. It was the best decision I ever made and one of the most proudest things I have done. Since then, I have been in school. I got my associates in ceramics in 2023 at Chaffey Community College and I am now at Cal State San Bernardino to get my bachelors in studio arts to become a high school ceramics teacher. This website is to have just a creative outlet to show my artwork to the world besides in my own social media.

- Random facts about me: I love Claude Monet. His art work inspired many of my paintings and allowed me to find my own style. My favorite band is Paramore. I have been listening to them since I was 11!! I have two doggies. One is a girl chug (half pug/half chihuahuha) and the other is a boy pug. I am obsessed with hot chips lol and can eat them so much v.v I love to dress up as a clown. One of my favorite movies is the Joker with Joaquin Phoenix. I love nostaliga and I am a hopeless romantic. I believe cheetah print can never go out of style. I love to dress as if I am going to the club everyday. Platforms are my bestfriends (I am 5'1). My zodiac sign is Cancer and I really resonate with it. I am a Pisces moon and Sagitarius rising. OH and I LOVE the moon and stars. -

Thank yoou to everyone in my life that has pushed me in the right direction to keep pursuing my dream. To help me realize changing my career was a good idea and also, to all my loved ones who has a art piece of mine and treasures it with so much love <3 I am forever thankful for you guys in my life.
