about the artist…
Ashley Rae Hernandez (known as Parker by friends) is a Houston based multidisciplinary artist currently completing her BFA at University of Texas- Permian Basin.
Originally from Pasadena, TX, Hernandez was an active member and supporter of the Houston local music scene and created flyers for several bands and venues across Texas. Her confidence and skill organically progressed as she moved from flyers to lithographs, paintings, photography, and video. Hernandez’s adoration for color and storytelling is evident and credits inspiration to such artists as Emil Bisttram, Thomas Demand and Gabriella Ruiz. She enjoys being able to manipulate color in her photography as well as the theatrical aspect of stop motion videos.
At the end of December 2020 Hernandez moved back to her hometown of Houston. Currently, Hernandez is preparing to graduate in May 2021 with a Bachelor’s of Fine Art.
