Ashley Showers

Writing has always been the one place I didn’t feel judged. It keeps me grounded. It's a quiet anchor when everything else feels loud. I don’t write to impress; I write to release, to reflect, to stay human. I’ve always been drawn to art that lives in the shadows. Not because it’s dark, but because it tells the truth. Poe and Dickinson were early influences, teaching me that there’s beauty in the macabre, strength in stillness, and power in the things we’re told to keep quiet. Tim Burton shaped my aesthetic too. A lifelong love for the strange, the soulful, and the slightly offbeat. I’m a published writer and visual artist, expanding my portfolio and voice one raw piece at a time. You can also find me on Instagram @eulogyoftheblacksheep, where I share fragments of my work, process, and whatever’s currently haunting my vision.
