2021 ARtsway Franklinton Mural - Home Run Mitch

Artists

Ashley Pierce https://www.ashdpierce.com/

Ashley is a Columbus based mixed media artist and muralist. Pierce creates work that causes the viewer to pause and look closer both through technique and imagery. This unique and narrative style invites and encourages the viewer to create their own story and dialog with each piece. Her mural work has ties to the environment and communities they were created for. From 2007 until June 2020, Pierce filled various roles including Studio Director, Marketing Director and Art Facilitator at a non-profit organization in Central Ohio serving adults with physical and developmental disabilities. The experience produced a unique perspective on how art benefits and connects people and Pierce is passionate about sharing that as a full-time artist. Pierce’s work has been shown in exhibitions nationally including Chicago and New York. She was a featured artist in the show “New Horizons- Self Taught Art of the 20th Century” at the Hickory Museum of Art in North Carolina. She has also served as a juror for several art shows and volunteers with non-profit art galleries and organizations. Pierce is passionate about mentoring other artists and enjoys sharing her work and experience with others.

Home Run Mitch was created as part of the 2021 ARtsway Summer Tech Youth Mural Program. Instructor/muralist Ashley Pierce worked with 12 students to create a piece of public art that speaks to the community and honored the former building owner Mitch Shifrin, who tragically passed the year prior. Over 6 sessions, students learned how to create digital designs, scale them up, and create a community mural. At the end of the program, the students worked with an Augmented Reality artist to bring the mural to life.

Experience augmented reality firsthand by downloading the ArtWalks AR App.
