Ashley Keene is a mixed media visual artist and designer from Dana Point, California. Growing up near the beach, her artwork has been heavily influenced by the local surf culture and ocean vistas, inspiring an array of bright colors that give her artwork a surreal and dreamlike ambiance.

Some of Keene's favorite work is unbound by the traditional canvas, as she prefers to recycle and repurpose a variety of materials, from broken surf and skateboards to overly scratched vinyl records.

Keene has gained much of her experience working with various artists at companies such as Lost Enterprises and O'Neill Clothing. In recent years, she has contributed to public art in South Orange County through participation in programs for local cities including Laguna Beach, Dana Point, and San Clemente.

Keene recently became a member of the Dana Point Art and Culture Commission where she continues her efforts to positively influence the local community.
