Ashlee Fuhr Selburg
Artist Statement
The natural world is the bedrock of my work, though it is the whimsical spirit of that world that I am interested in, and my drawings serve to represent that spirit.
Artist Bio
Ashlee Fuhr Selburg was born and raised in Southwest Missouri where she grew up skipping rocks, chasing fireflies, and exhausting any Beatrix Potter books she could get her hands on. Ashlee decided as a little girl that she would like to draw for the rest of her life, and consequently earned her BFA from the University of Missouri-Columbia. She is married to another artist and they are the proud parents of a three-year-old little boy. Ashlee still believes that she would like to draw for the rest of her life.
