Ashley de Jong – Doucette was born and grew up in Ottawa, Canada. Raised in a family which put high emphasis on creativity and the arts, she was always found drawing or doing crafts. From as far back as she can remember she was known as the "artistic" one among her friends, the go-to girl for creative advice. Eventually she enrolled into the Fine Arts program at Canterbury High School, featured prominently as the best high school for the arts in the country in the August 23rd, 2004 edition of Maclean’s magazine. After her High School years, Ashley moved to Toronto to attend York University, and is currently entering her fourth year of a BFA in Visual Arts with Honours. At the university she has become quite involved in the art community, acting as assistant curator of one of the campus galleries, Eleanor Winter's Art Gallery. Most importantly, however, she has had the opportunity to create more art and develop her artistic practice. Ashley is now an emerging Toronto artist. [show less]
