Ashley Gates

Ashley Gates is a graphic designer/illustrator/costume designer born in
Florida but is residing in Sulphur, Louisiana with her husband and her
animals. Her artwork is very diverse ranging in many mediums between
traditional and digital. She loves to try new mediums and creating mashup art
of pop culture characters, semi-realistic anime/manga, and fantasy art.

She’s been working as a graphic designer for over 12 years and has had her art
featured in numerous gallery shows between Texas and Louisiana as well as one
solo gallery show in 2023 and an upcoming one in 2024 at the Imperial
Calcasieu Museum in Lake Charles in August 2024. She has also won Honorable
Mention multiple times for the Illustrators of the Future Award.

When she isn’t doing art Ashley really loves playing D&D and Magic the
Gathering, playing video games, and chilling with her cats watching Sci-fi,
anime, and fantasy movies/shows.
