Artist Bio: Reeva Ashton is an emerging Australian artist living and working in the tree-lined hills of the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria. With a passion for floral, botanical, and still life works, Reeva’s works explore the dynamic interplay between traditional realism and abstraction. Bright and bold colours are a reoccurring feature in her works, as are references to photography and digital art, both of which predominated her early years.
Reeva has won and been shortlisted for a number of art prizes over the past few years, including but not limited to winning the 2024/25 AGES Society Art Prize, receiving a highly commended prize in the 2024 Lethbridge 20000 Small Scale Art Award, and becoming a finalist in the 2023 Lethbridge 20000 Small Scale Art Award, 2023 Bluethumb Art Prize, and the 2021 Agendo Art Prize.
Reeva’s work is exhibited and collected by collectors Australia-wide, with her work having been featured in the Affordable Art Fair, through Gallery NWC. To date, Reeva has exhibited at this fair in Brisbane 2024, Sydney 2023, and has upcoming shows in both Sydney and Melbourne planned for 2025.
Her most recent body of work is inspired by the botanical nature of the land on which she lives, with some of her paintings capturing moments in time of flora she has grown in her garden, the same garden that is an vivid feature of her home-studio.
