… a deliberate engagement with time itself—its relentless flow, its subtle passing, and the echoes it leaves behind on our consciousness…

As a perceptual artist I consistently seek to capture the nuances of human experience and the shifts in our perception of reality. My signature cinematic drawing technique serves as a core methodology, becoming a deliberate engagement with time itself—its relentless flow, its subtle passing, and the echoes it leaves behind on our consciousness.

My artistic output is broad, encompassing the tactile intimacy of drawing and painting across multiple mediums, the diverse narrative potential of photo-media explorations, and the expansive ambition of spatial collaborative projects. Each facet of my work informs and enriches the others, contributing to a holistic and deeply integrated investigation.

The collection of works you encounter here is more than an exhibition; it is a personal chronicle, a reflection of my studio journey with time. With the sale of our home and a renovation project in Italy, this very studio, a crucible of intense focus and creative growth, is now physically gone, lending a resonance and a sense of conclusion to these pieces. Viewing them together feels like a retrospective, marking not just a significant turning point in my artistic evolution, but a chapter change in my life itself. It’s an unfolding story, now at an inflection point.

Born in London, Ashbolt graduated with First Class Honours in Film and Photography at the University of Westminster. In 1987 she emigrated to Melbourne, establishing a highly successful career in film as a performance director; experience that continues to inform her process and her sensitive, collaborative approach for clients seeking private art commissions.

In 2015 she obtained a Doctorate in Fine Art from Monash University. Ashbolt’s studio practice is a consideration of cinematic drawing; drawing in response to the flow of time, and its revelations to collective and individual human experience.

Her work has been exhibited with the Arts Council (England), Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (London), Ballarat Art Gallery, Bendigo Art Gallery and she has presented numerous solo exhibitions in Australia, Canada and Europe.
