Art is an important part of Ms Asbury’s life. She started painting at Ridgewood Art Institute while in her teens, specializing in portraiture.

Ms Asbury then continued her studies at Wesleyan University and Dayton Art Institute. Her  subjects include research and paintings of American Indians to lively studies of farm animals, which was prompted by her involvement at Ellis Clark Regional Agri-Science and Technology Centerin Woodbury.

Ms Asbury, a past president of SCAN, is also a member of Washington Art Association, Watertown Art League, Kent Art Association and North Shore Arts Association.

Her work has been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions at art galleries throughout the region.

She currently paints from her home studio in Woodbury.
