Frequent Flier Ashley Longshore's Best Travel Hack? Ask the Hotel to Change Rooms
Self-taught painter Ashley Longshore is the rare artist who's built a name for herself outside the usual avenues of gallery shows, in-the-know art fairs and obscure prizes. Instead, the furiously creative pop-art entrepreneur has collaborated with fashion houses and celebrities and forged an audience for her kaleidoscopically bright, multimedia canvases on social media. Longshore has worked with Gucci, Porsche and Judith Leiber and counts Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek, Pink and Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds among her avid collectors. Her fourth book, Giving The Bird: Bird Stories, will be released by Rizzoli in September.
Longshore commutes between a studio in Tribeca and a farm in Louisiana with her partner and three dogs—and she travels frequently for work and pleasure. So how many miles does she log in a given year? 'Millions,' she says. 'Millions.'
