Artist Statement
"I'm Ashlyn Jolene Drago, and as a Digital Art & Design major at the Academy for the Arts, Sciences, and Technology (AAST) in Myrtle Beach, I find immense fulfillment in using digital tools to explore animation, design, digital art, and photography."
"Through my work I aim to ignite a sense of curiosity and wonder in the viewer, and even myself during the process of creating art. I am particularly drawn to 80s-related graphic art, character animation, Disney, animals, photography that captures love and genuine memory, and darker compositions that linger in the mind."
"Ultimately, I am driven by the process of creating engaging digital narratives and designing experiences that capture the imagination of my audience."
