CONTEMPORARY FIGURATIVE PAINTINGS · LOUISIANA-BORN · PENSACOLA-BASED
Modern Light.
Timeless Emotion.
Original paintings and hand-signed, limited-edition prints — figurative work shaped by light, shadow, and stillness. These are not passive portraits; they are moments suspended in contrast — women emerging from darkness, touched by gold, carrying emotion, elegance, and the kind of quiet strength that refuses to disappear.

The Artist
Painting is how
I rebuild.
Ashley Karno is a contemporary figurative painter based in Pensacola, FL, with Louisiana roots. Her work is shaped by resilience, autoimmune illness, and the quiet power of becoming — figures emerge from shadow, held in contrast and restraint.
"What began as survival became a practice — rooted in healing, contrast, and hope."
— Ashley
