In this episode we WadeOutThere with Ashley Weber from Florida’s East Coast. Ashley grew up fishing in the Indian River Lagoon system along the “space coast” of Florida where she developed a deep connection with the ocean and salt water fish. When Ashley attended art school she told her professors she wanted to paint fish and stay in Florida. She started transitioning from painting to metal art her senior year when she decided she wanted to create a metal tarpon for herself, after tarpon brought her to fly fishing. She quickly fell in love with the metal art medium, and it wasn’t long after school that her art became her full time work, and was paying for her many saltwater fly fishing adventures. We discuss Ashley’s pursuit of metal art from beginner to accomplished artist, conservation efforts in the Indian River Lagoon System, and some of the lessons Ashley has learned following her dreams in art and saltwater fly fishing.To learn about Ashley and her art visit:Ashley Weber Art.comOr follow her on Instagram at:@ashleyweberartYou can inquire about purchasing art or commissioning a piece of metal art by emailing Ashley at:[email protected] you want more information on some of the topics we discussed try reading these blog posts from Wadeoutthere:READ: WADEOUTTHERE | A Fly Fishing MentorREAD: WADEOUTTHERE | The Fish Are Always Biting - MindsetFor more fly fishing stories, lessons learned, and artwork check out my blog and online gallery at Wadeoutthere.comVisit WadeOutThere.com/art for 10% off your first original painting or limited edition print from show host and artist Jason Shemchuk Visit Stealthcraftboats.com or text or call 231-206-4056 and mention "WadeOutThere" when you contact Stealthcraft, for 15% OFF your first boat.
