About the Artist

 

Ashley “SEVLA” Alves

Sevla was born and raised in Philadelphia. She uses her dark sense of humor and love of random things/cute monsters to create her art, whether through 2 dimensional, sculptures, 3D, or fiber works. Currently she resides a short distance outside Philly in New Jersey as she could not completely abandon her home origins all at once.

Sevla has been in the arts since childhood. She started out learning in a small art studio in her neighborhood as well as through her other creative family members. She was awarded the art scholarship to attend her High School where she was given additional scholarships to attend classes at Moore College and University of the Arts during her High School years. Sevla attended college majoring in Illustration at the University of the Arts from 2012-2016.
