Ashleigh Harford is the curator behind “Art by Lelli” and resides in Hampton Court with her three lively children; Charlie, Theo, and Lyla (or as she fondly refers to them, her three little pigs!).
In her spare time, Ashleigh enjoys swimming almost daily, gardening, and traveling. She also cherishes moments spent with her wonderful children. Of course, painting and immersing herself in her passion for abstract art remain at the heart of her creative pursuits.
With London just on her doorstep, she loves exploring its many beautiful art galleries, drawing inspiration from the vibrant artistic scene.
Although Ashleigh studied art as a student, life took her in different directions. Now, with her children growing older, she has been able to dedicate more time to her artistic journey one that brings her immense joy and fulfillment.
Ashleigh is a contemporary abstract artist who thrives on experimenting with diverse textures. Her work is driven by emotion, depth, and the dynamic energy of the moment, bringing each piece to life with movement and feeling.
For Ashleigh, creativity is about freedom releasing control and embracing the spontaneity of inspiration as it comes.
Her art is a reflection of inner strength, courage, and liberation, with every brushstroke woven into a rich tapestry of life experiences. As Thomas Merton famously said, “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time” a sentiment that deeply resonates with her artistic journey.
