My name is Ashley Bautista, an artist and designer. Inspiration stems from my culture and identity as a first generation Guatemalan American. Design is an element of life that surrounds us and can create meaningful work to convey a vision into a reality that viewers can connect to.
Bautista is a recent graduate from South Dakota State University where she earned a BFA in Graphic design and minor in Studio Arts. Bautista focuses on the exploration of human connection within environmental, cultural and social issues. She began her journey in South Dakota and led her to California where she is trained as a Graphic Designer.
