ashley altes arts
I'm Ashley Altes, a digital artist and designer based in Kalgoorlie, Western
Australia. Art has always been at the centre of my universe - a musician in my
youth, then a professional photographer in my younger years, and later becoming
a specialist Arts teacher. In 2019 I began Ashley Altes Arts, after re-igniting
my passion for illustrating in the classroom; I fell into textile design by
chance when becoming a cloth nappy mum, designing my first seamless pattern for
a Perth-based MCN brand. Since then, I have created a range of fabrics and
started my own line of prints early in 2021, and have collaborated with a range
of Australian businesses to create unique products, using my vibrant art style
to capture the playfulness and beauty of the every-day world.
