/ mel-ee-eye /

A name rooted in Greek mythology – ash-tree nymphs born of blood, earth and transformation.

I’m Ash. A daydreamer, lover girl, water baby, and mystic.

Photography and the healing arts found me because I’m an eternal seeker of beauty both visible and unseen. They found me so fiercely that I stepped away from the academic path ahead of me and devoted myself fully to mirroring beauty and truth back to every person who steps in front of my lens.

I create art that bites.

I work with ritual, as an embodied practice.

I reflect beauty, beyond conditioning.

Meliae Studio is my location-based practice in mythopoetic portraiture for visionaries, rebels, mystics, and anyone longing to be truly seen.
