Ari Kate Ashton (American) will showcase for the first time her newest series - “Doors” - at Forseti, from March 24 to April 20, 2007. Continuing in the glazing and layering method embodied in her previous work she now adds new symbolism to enjoin the viewer. “The ‘Door' is a universal symbol for choice", says Ashton. “We are the sum total of the choices we make. Should we open the door? Or should we leave it unopened. Even simple choices can have profound effects.” If the viewer looks closely there is often a subtle “cloud” in the painting. “It symbolizes” she says, “the mystery, the unknown or unknowable that is present in all decisions.” Ashton is also exhibiting her abstract landscapes and bold abstracts for which she is well known.

Ashton’s art is exhibited in over a hundred homes in southern California alone. Her work has appeared in California Homes Magazine as well as on NBC news and has been exhibited at the Museum of the Living Artist in San Diego. Her work has been exhibited in dozens of art shows throughout California including the prestigious gallery shows at the Riverside Art Museum.
