>> James Ash always wanted to be an art teacher. For various reasons, including addiction, his mental health, and living without internet in the Michigan woods, he never became an art teacher. So he taught himself how to make art. In 2021, James Ash passed away at the age of seventy-one. His daughter, Anna had the task of cleaning out his cabin and deciding what to do with the two dozen large, colorful, surreal, and enigmatic paintings. The goal has always been to share them with as many people as possible. <<
