Ashley Cunningham (B.F.A., photography, 2003) is a painter and photographer whose acrylic and mixed-media (resin, ink, graphite, pastel, oil, etc.) works examine popular culture and its effect on communication, as well as the need for immediate gratification both personally and in the world at large. Her recent collections focus on social media and its effect on language and communication in daily life. Cunningham has exhibited throughout the U.S. and currently lives in Brooklyn, NY.
