Wes Ashworth (full name John Wesley Ashworth III) is a Collierville, Tennessee-based artist known for his vibrant works in both acrylics and oils.

Artistic Style and Philosophy
Wes Ashworth’s style is primarily defined by a focus on light, atmosphere, and candid moments.

Impressionistic Approach: His work often features expressive, visible brushwork that captures a sense of movement and "fleeting" time.

Subject Matter: He is noted for his diverse range, including landscapes, people, and coastal scenes that "intrigue" him. He often aims to make viewers "stop for 10 seconds and observe something they've never taken the time to in the past".

Emotional Connection: For Ashworth, painting is a meditative process he describes as "floating in still water," where he can "forget troubles and relax".

Notable Works and Series
While "Girl on Beach" (Acrylic on Canvas, 18x20") is a featured work, Ashworth has a broad portfolio:

Landscapes: He has exhibited a collection of oil landscape paintings at the Morton Museum in Collierville.

Recurring Themes: His portfolio includes pieces with titles such as Wolf River, What girls do in summer, and OH MA HAYA.

Cultural Portraits: He has also created portraits of iconic figures, such as Louie Armstrong.

Background and Training
Mentorship: Ashworth began his artistic journey under his mother, an accomplished oil artist, and later studied under portrait master Paul Penczner. Since 2018, he has refined his technique under the guidance of Collierville artist Pam Hassler.

Professional Background: Interestingly, Ashworth is a professional civil engineer and land surveyor by trade, a career that he says has allowed him to see "places few have ever seen," which in turn influences his nature-based paintings.

Community Involvement: He is an active member of the Memphis/Germantown Art League (MGAL) and Artists’ Link Memphis.
