Ashley Bella Daramola

Ashley Bella is a Visual Media Maven, Artistic Entrepreneur, and Community Figure dedicated to making Fine & Commercial Art accessible, affordable, and applicable as a tool for bettering mental and emotional health.

She spent over a decade dedicated to driving social change through Mental Health Services, Social Work, and Community Involvement. Ashley embodied the spirit of activism, advocacy, and leadership in every work-related initiative. Over time she realized that her skills used to better the lives of others were actually fueled by her love of making things beautiful. Although the 9-5 work was somewhat fulfilling, her true passion and educational background in art was dormant and not being used to their full potential.

In 2016, Ashley quit her corporate job as an Advocate for the Anti-Sex Trafficking Movement in Atlanta. She immediately downsized everything and made the sacrifice to live out of the trunk of her car so that she could pour 100% of her resources and time into making her art, her life. Ashley believes the lessons in these humble beginnings in her entrepreneurial journey created the fuel that has gotten her and her team through COVID.
