Hello! Mossie is my alter ego, but I also go by Ashley Pinckney. I am on this journey of unearthing myself in all its layers, because isn’t that what us millennials are all about!? A few present realities about me that define this season and my art.

I am a feminist

I am a woman

I am a mother

I am a nurse practitioner

I am navigating PMDD, chronic PTSD

I am grieving death of my mother and dismissal of my father

Mossie aims to be real and honest as much as I am aware. As intense as this may read, I am goofy and truly a good time as an embodied woman. Aiming to connect with that “childlike” part of self.

A little bit about my process; I use only natural and organic materials. Incorporating Mother Nature. Preserved moss, dried foliage, wood frames, and alike. Brining nature into your home provides such texture, visual interest, calm and moments to just be. As I am searching to do this with myself, it is my intention for my people to do the same.

One of my favorite artist said, “ always use a material for that it can do; don’t force it’s nature” - Gianfranco Frattini

What a beautiful representation of the vision I am working towards fulfilling in art and in self.
