My name is Ashley Manami Green (she/they), I am a 2D artist and animator!

I am a New England native as a first generation Japanese-American. I received my BFA in Animation + Game Arts from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth - College of Visual and Performing Arts. I enjoy telling stories from my own life and experiences, being raised in a multicultural household has filled me with a deep appreciation for my Japanese-American culture through media and a love for nature and wildlife that informs the art I make. 

I always want to showcase the beauty of life and nature as seen through my eyes, we all have our own experiences, but our pride in different cultures is beautiful and I hope my art conveys that message.

Though you can usually find me hunched over my iPad, I enjoy hiking and spending time identifying plants I find!

I am currently teaching at One River School in Westport! I teach digital and traditional art classes from 3rd grade up to 12th. https://westport.oneriverschool.com/team/
