About

Welcome to my Shopify store, my name is Ashley Bliss. I’m an artist with a fine art background, I earned a BFA in fine art photography from Missouri State University in 2003. In my earlier college days, I was in a darkroom for five years learning the fundamentals of photography, drawing, painting, making ceramics, learning printmaking, discovering sculpture and researching art history. Those were the days! I cherish all of the knowledge I learned during those years and truly feel that it shaped the foundation of the artist I am today.

My fiancé and I discovered we share a common love of visiting National Parks when we visited our first National Park together, Yosemite, in the summer of 2016. Since then, we take a couple trips a year to visit more National Parks. So far, we have visited 40 of the 64 National Parks. We just love being in beautiful nature and exploring together.

My goal every time we visit a National Park is to try and capture the or one of the “Wow” factors I feel that National Parks offer. In my photography I try to showcase the moments that stop me in my tracks and think to myself, “This is the shot.” Hopefully you will enjoy these moments from my travels.

In 2016, I realized that I was passionate about design as much as I was about photography, I went on to continue my education earning Associates degrees in both Graphic and Web Design. I have come to the realization that I just truly love all things art and design, from getting the shot at a National Park, to coding a website, it all excites me!

When I’m not photographing or designing, I enjoy running by or on the beach, hiking, rollerblading, city hopping, and reading.
