everyday heirlooms are homegrown and thoughtfully crafted by me, Ashley Winn. I am a Kentucky artist, musician and maker. When I’m not tending to my daughters, I find myself with a need to create. Whether it be for a quilted keepsake, a soft pastel landscape or a bouquet gathered straight from the garden, my inspiration is drawn from the seasons, the natural world and the feeling of home.

Soft Pastels and Care
Soft Pastels are a fine art medium comprised primarily of pure pigments, with minimal binding agents, which contribute to their vibrant and intense colors. This high pigment concentration allows artists to create rich and expressive artwork. Soft pastels are often confused with chalk, however, no chalk, or very minimal chalk, is used in the creation of a pastel.
Because soft pastels are a dry medium, dust migration is normal and adds to the character of each piece. However, careful handling is suggested, and it is not recommended to touch the face of the painting. I provide a sheet of glassine paper with each purchase that can be placed over the artwork to help hold the pastel in place when handling. I use high quality pastels and archival pastel papers, so you will be able to enjoy your artwork for years to come. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.
