Art Appreciation with Kristin Ashley
Presented by Artists on the Bluff
Free for members of Artists on the Bluff and the Deer Path Art League
Join Kristin Ashley for a talk on “The Symbolists,” examining how artists such as Van Gogh, Rossetti, and Monet used imagery, color, and symbolism to express emotional and psychological depth beyond the visible world. The discussion will explore how symbolic meaning in art shapes the way we interpret images and how engaging with art can deepen personal reflection and everyday experience.
Kristin Ashley is the former president of Artists on the Bluff and holds a BFA in Studio Art, graduating with honors. Known for her deeply expressive, symbol-rich work inspired by nature and the mystical world, she also presents popular art appreciation programs throughout the Chicago area and contributes as a writer and graphic designer for the Chicago Tribune and other publications.
