hi! I’m thecolorg

THECOLORG (b. 1991, Central PA) is a millennial feminine queer interdisciplinary artist based in Philadelphia, PA. Growing up surrounded by teddy bears and stuffed animals crafted by her family, she found inspiration in these soft works. Through soft sculpture, installation, and painting, her work reflects the bridge between childhood memories and adult experiences, using objects, materials, and wordplay that evoke a sense of familiarity and introspection. 

THECOLORG holds an MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and a BFA from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. She has attended artist residencies at the Studios at MASS MoCA, Chautauqua Visual Arts, and the Walkaway House in North Adams, MA. Her work has been exhibited at many museums, galleries, and institutions across the country, including Banana Factory Arts Center, InLiquid Gallery, Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Smithsonian Institution), Moravian University, Lycoming College Gallery, Atelier FAS Gallery, PAFA, Cherry Street Pier, Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, the Erie Art Museum, and many more. Ash has built a handmade plush brand/entity focused on creating unique and custom plush for people of all ages which can be found for adoption at The Fabric Workshop & Museum, Philadelphia, PA. Her current project "MOO-D" has been generously funded by The Puffin Foundation through their 2022 artist grant cycle.
