Ash bonez

The question you should be searching for isn't Who, but *What? In a nutshell; Ash Bonez is a feeling I get when I am creating my art. This feeling comes from the farthest edges of our universe, a place where things are simple and chill. This is where the Good Vibes we feel today emit from.

Ash Bonez (Matthew Grandy) is a photographer and visual artist who lives in the state of New York. He received his Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in photography at SUNY New Paltz and is pursuing a passion for photography, painting and drawing. His diverse body of work ranges from portraiture, abstraction, surrealism, and colorfield. Matthew believes there is a little bit of an artist in all of us and likes to work between the lines of the commercial and the conceptual.
