Ash Schepens is a mixed-media collage artist from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Drawing from vintage imagery, found materials, print ephemera, and personal symbolism, her work explores themes of identity, femininity, desire, memory, and cultural consumption.
Through a process of collecting, cutting, layering, and recontextualizing images, Schepens creates dense visual narratives that balance beauty with discomfort, humor with vulnerability, and chaos with intention. Influenced by punk aesthetics, underground publishing, contemporary collage, and the visual language of advertising, her pieces invite viewers to uncover new meanings within familiar images.
Now in her twenties, Schepens continues to develop a body of work that embraces contradiction and emotional honesty, transforming fragments of the everyday into immersive, thought-provoking compositions.
