S1. Ep. 4 - Dopee Conversation - Ashley Artzy Bella

Dopee Conversations with ArtzyBella CEO Ashley Bella. Born and raised on the southside of Atlanta, GA. She found a way to monetize her artistic talent through incorporating a company that she would be able to use to continue funding her own art career. Ashley fused her skills in business and marketing, her experience in mental health and community work, with a unique understanding of the commercialized art industry to create ArtzyBella. Ashley’s 10 year career in mental health fuels her passion for using creative solutions like therapeutic art to enhance mental health services. In her pursuit towards clinical licensure as a Registered and Licensed Art Therapist, Ashley is currently exploring innovative ways to fuse visual art, psychological research, and technology to solve complex mental health problems in communities worldwide. Ashley prides on being a self-funded visual artist that once lived out of her car when she first got started. Her humble beginning aids her commitment to the movement to revolutionize what we know and how we respond to the art industry and creative professions.
