Ashley Doggett (B. 1995) is a Nashville based fine artist who’s work reframes and confronts issues surrounding race, gender, class and cultural dissociation. Through painting, drawing and printmaking, Doggett incorporates personal memories and familial histories to unflinchingly address the United States’ racist history. Doggett’s use of Antebellum symbolism, Mannerism and references to Afrofuturism offers a critique of oppressive social systems.

By depicting unapologetic, self-aware subjects that bear a sense of agency and “sophisticated rage”, Doggett’s work honors the legacy of both the past, present and the ancientness of the world at large.

Doggett earned her BFA from Watkins College of Art in 2016 and is currently represented by Steven Zevitas Gallery, where she was the youngest painter to be accepted in New American Paintings (South, Vol. 136). Doggett’s work is currently in the collections of Beth Rudin DeWoody as well as Yale University and has been featured in galleries both nationwide and internationally.
