A Tiny Art Garage

Ashleigh M. Ferreira-Bartlett, a self-taught artist hailing from Massachusetts, has traversed diverse creative landscapes, showcasing her talents as a writer, newspaper editor, photographer, freelance marketing consultant, and graphic designer. Her journey is fueled by a deep-seated passion for assisting others, a sentiment underscored by the loss of most of her family and her late fiancé to unexpected yet treatable health conditions. Following her health challenges, Ashleigh found solace and a means of self-expression in her return to art during a period of medical leave. Today, she confronts the challenges of systemic lupus with art as her driving force, finding purpose and inspiration in individuals like Ed who fill 

her heart with resolve. 

Kidney For Ed discovered Ashleigh's remarkable artwork in a Facebook group and wasted no time reaching out to her. From the outset, Ms. Ferreira-Bartlett enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to contribute her talents to the cause. Demonstrating a profound understanding of our mission, this compassionate artist dedicated herself to crafting original pieces and generously donating them to Kidney for Ed for our T-shirt fundraiser and then going on to assist with the creation of the e-commerce store, that would become the KidneyForEdShop via Etsy. With a caring and attentive approach, Ashleigh took the time to familiarize herself with Ed's health journey, actively seeking input on desired designs and diligently incorporating feedback for improvement; Her professionalism throughout the process was 

exemplary and deeply admirable. The dedication and craftsmanship exhibited by Ashleigh in creating kidney designs are genuinely valued by Kidney For Ed and the KidneyForEdShop, and we wholeheartedly endorse her for any graphic design needs and digital assistance.
