Hi My name is Ash Llanes
I was born and raised in Miami, Florida
I am a queer identifying artist who makes personally political work about my Cuban American identity, my affinity with Miami, my relationship to my upbringing and how it has affected me in my adult life.
These topics are demonstrated through photos, collage, and bookmaking.
