Ashley Moog Bowlsbey is an artist from southern York County, Pennsylvania. She specializes in both analog and digital photography, digital fine art printing, bookmaking, and basic printmaking processes. Ashley’s work is emotionally driven, often focusing on topics of family, home, loss, and grief. Her series Second Skin examines topics of body image, feminine beauty ideals and beauty ritual. Grieving the Changes, her most recent body of work, focuses on the passing of time and all that comes with it good or bad. The work reflects mundane moments in daily life, and pieces of daily routines that are often taken for granted but later in life one may wish to have back one more time.

Ashley received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography from Pennsylvania College of Art & Design in 2012. Then she completed her Master of Fine Arts in photography from Indiana University Bloomington in 2017. She is currently an adjunct professor of photography at York College of Pennsylvania. She also works as an adjunct professor and lab technician for the Photography & Video department at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in locations such as Philadelphia PA, Washington DC, Pingyao China, Daegu South Korea, and London England. Ashley’s work is also featured in permanent collections at the Kinsey Institute and the Graduate Printmaking Archive at Indiana University Bloomington.
