Ashley Longshore is a Southern-born, self-taught painter, sculptor, and entrepreneur. Dubbed the “feminist Andy Warhol,” Ashley challenged the traditional business model of art galleries by building her own pop art empire. Armed with a powerhouse personality, an irreverent sense of humor, and an early knack for social media marketing, she used her platform to encourage positivity, authenticity, and creativity—ultimately exploding into a global brand.

In December, Longshore made her highly anticipated Miami Art Week debut at Aqua Art Fair, also launching her dazzling new “boob bag” collaboration with Judith Leiber Couture. Longshore’s works have been exhibited across America and Europe, exploring themes found in pop culture, American consumerism, and Hollywood. Labeled “Fashion’s Latest Art Darling” by The New York Times, Ashley made history as Bergdorf Goodman’s first female artist to have a solo exhibit in its 100-plus-year history when she was featured in their iconic Fifth Avenue window display and designed the retailer’s “Palette at BG” café.

Other career milestones include artist residencies at IMG’s New York Fashion Week and The Peninsula Beverly Hills, appearing on Bravo’s Project Runway, and inspiring/appearing in Christian Siriano's Fall 2019 runway collection. She has also authored four books, three of them with Rizzoli, including her latest, Giving The Bird: Bird Stories. Her list of collaborators includes Gucci, Porsche, and Maybelline, and her collectors range from Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively to NFL quarterback Eli Manning, Pink, Salma Hayek, Diane Von Furstenberg, Penelope Cruz, and Wall Street’s elite.

Ultimately, Longshore will leave her mark as a prolific and celebrated pop artist. Through the development of her foundation, The Ashley Longshore Charitable Trust, she will preserve a vital capsule of her collection of works. Ashley is a New York-based fine artist and will be opening her new showroom in Tribeca later this month.
