ASH ROBINSON
INDIANAPOLIS 2025 - 2026
Ash Robinson, born in 1985, is an American multidisciplinary artist born and raised in Indianapolis. Trained as a furniture designer and maker, she earned her BFA from Herron School of Art & Design in 2010. While attending San Diego State University for graduate school, Robinson realized that functional objects could no longer solely be a vehicle for her artistic expression and began experimenting with a wide range of mediums and concepts. Known for her reflective portraits, her work is inspired by the resilience, beauty, and complexity of the Black community. With boldly vibrant textures, Robinson considers her multi-media approach as a representation of an eclectic Black society. Robinson has been featured in numerous exhibitions including Cause & Æffect: Art that Speaks Out, Indiana State Museum, The Simplicity of Being: Identity & Personhood in a Complex World, New Delhi, India, as well as the Butter Fine Art Fair 2 & 3, Indianapolis, IN. She also was selected and exhibited her work at ArtPrize 2024, in Grand Rapids. Among her top accomplishments are the Beckmann Emerging Artist Fellowship and the Creative Renewal Fellowship from the Arts Council of Indianapolis.
