Ashley Daramola

Ashley is a fine artist from Atlanta who started doing commercial murals about 5 years ago when she left her prior career in mental health.

“The legacies of ancient civilizations have been portrayed through their motifs and art that we now use to define who they may have been. Today, we easily recognize the people represented in tribal motifs from around the world. The artistic direction of this piece was inspired by my personal understanding of inclusion as a black minority female founder in Atlanta, visually conveying the lens of my own experiences. In using freehanded patterns, designs, and vibrant colors in a repetitive way, I am inspired by what I see in my own culture. As one of hundreds of minority founders with promising startups in Atlanta, I’ve cultivated how I express the world as I see it and take this opportunity to establish a legacy within my own community. “
