Welcome to Floating Bean Creations, my name is Ashley…

I am an artist that is creating moments of wonder through large and small-scale art.

I am interested in reusing and finding new purposes for items that are normally discarded. Seeing a new use for everyday items, inspires me in many ways and reminds me to be happy with what I have. I am inspired by color and the way that it interacts together. I also believe that color can change the way we see things. My feelings and emotions are reflected in the colors that I choose to use in my art. When I am painting the beans, I feel a sense of calm. This feeling entices me to observe day to day life with the same sense of calm. It evokes a desire for me to be aware of the many depths of colors all around.

My work is made to invite pause: to spark imagination, to soften the moment, to remind someone — even briefly — that delight still has a place in everyday life. I am passionate about the idea of creating a unique world where monsters are delightful and have a sense of optimistic fantasy.

For me, It’s about crafting something that feels alive, approachable, and quietly uplifting — something that leaves the viewer a little lighter than before.
