I began my artistic journey primarily as a pointillism ink artist under the username 'artcrittter', however in the past year I discovered collage as an art form, which quickly became a passion. The endless possible combinations of colours, textures and mediums have inspired me to create layered, unique pieces. I use my art to delve into the surreal, using a variety of mediums to explore and represent the intense range of emotions I feel. My work serves to physically embody these emotions and commonly explores feelings of curiosity, anxiety, pain, growth, love and loss. As a skier, mountain biker, and lifelong lover of strange creatures, the natural world continuously informs my work. Artcrittter as a small business offers commissioned work, originals, prints, stickers, and more! Through these physical expressions, I invite others into my world of strange and chaotic beauty.

hi i’m ash! i formed floral x faeding during a massively challenging time in my life last year when was in the hospital for two long months. i felt so low, so misunderstood & like i didn’t matter. during that time i planned how i could feed myself through creating with something that meant a lot to me, & nature was always the centre of everything i imagined. the day i got discharged, i started floral x faeding. as i felt myself, i feel & express with my art. i take something society sees as less than, not understanding the complexity of even the smallest things (literally) & leave an impact on people. wether they’re just walking by or taking something home, i want them to learn & to see our world in a different light, therefor facing & treating the world around them differently

I hail from Saskatoon, SK and moved to Alberta to further my Division 1 career in roller derby. I played for Saskatoon Mindfox, Saskatoonn Juniors, the first JRDA canadian team, and Team Saskatchewan.

I needed another challenge so i pursued a career in art and wanted to be an art teacher, but landed on tattooing and the underground culture instead! 

After learning and apprenticing under some of the best artists in calgary I managed to expand my career as a tattoo artist! Working independently and expanding my talents and knowledge every day!

I tattoo everything from illustration to realism, I adore taking on any and all projects big or small!
Im also a painter and sell my art and prints to those willing to share not only my art on their bodies but in their homes as well! 
If im not making art for people to have for the rest of their lives im making art to inspire and spark inspiration and life into a occupied space! 
I ever only ever sold my art out of shops and roller derby tournaments (mainly people in my community) 
And I would be honored to be able to expand that reach and meet new people and get in touch with new groups! 

Thank you so much ❤️
