She pursued her passion by studying Film &amp; Television Production at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. The program nurtured Ashley\u2019s creativity and provided the skills needed to take the next step. \u201cAs I began developing my own films, I found myself focusing most of my energy on set dressing \u2013 the furniture and detailed accessories that create a character\u2019s environment,\u201d explained Ashley. Art Direction and Interior Design classes at NYU and Parsons led to her finding her niche in set decoration.<\/p>\n<p>Getting a foot in the door in the film industry was challenging. \u201cI took advantage of networking opportunities through NYU and worked on many student and independent projects. With long days and small budgets I was essentially a one-woman department,\u201d said Ashley. Still, she was adept at building sets, prop shopping, and on-set dressing, which led her to an art department assistant job with the HBO production <em>Taking Chance<\/em>. \u201cIt opened many doors for me, especially since this was the same art department that was behind <em>Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind<\/em>.\u201d She also sought unionization, ultimately becoming a \u201cprop\u201d in Local 52 after passing an intense practical and written exam. \u201cIt was a defining moment in my career,\u201d said Ashley, who soon began working as a set dresser on a television series. She would work her way up to assistant set decorator.<\/p>\n<p>As a set decorator, Ashley arranges the overall look of a film or television show. \u201cThe construction staff and the scenics build and paint sets that fit the tone of the story. We then furnish the environment with furniture, lighting, flooring, window treatments, artwork, and other details,\u201d explained Ashley. \u201cI work with the set decorator to achieve the designer\u2019s vision. We source and shop set pieces that will visually enhance the set and assist in dressing said items into their final positions on set. I pay close attention to my fellow decorators and their creative processes. I\u2019ve learned to always put myself in the character\u2019s frame of mind so I can see how they would interact in the space I\u2019ve created.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Wellbrock_1W.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-14539\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000; margin: 8px;\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Wellbrock_1W-243x300.jpg\" alt=\"Ashley with other Gotham staff at the Art Directors Guild Awards in January 2016\" width=\"215\" height=\"265\"><\/a>Currently Ashley is working on the Warner Bros. series <em>Gotham<\/em>. \u201cIt has kept me busy. I\u2019m often working long hours and not in a typical office setting, but I like having the ability to work on diverse projects. My job changes drastically day to day, and I thrive on that.\u201d The <em>Gotham<\/em> crew was recognized with a nomination from and invitation to attend the Art Directors Guild Awards in Los Angeles in January 2016 (<em>pictured left<\/em>). \u201cIt was an amazing experience to be seated in the company of so many talented individuals, including talents who contributed to films like <em>Amadeus<\/em> and <em>The Sound of Music<\/em>. It was a wonderful reminder of why I wanted to be in this business and how far I have come in chasing my dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ashley doesn\u2019t know what will come next in her career, \u201cbut that\u2019s the nature of Hollywood, isn\u2019t it? I am enjoying this roller coaster of a ride and I am looking forward to the unknown. I hope that that includes decorating a musical, or maybe even working with The Muppets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4489\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/In_Memoriam_WEB_2p0.jpg\" alt=\"In Memoriam\" width=\"620\" height=\"55\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-99\" src=\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/Catholic_Cross_Web.jpg\" alt=\"Catholic Cross\" width=\"28\" height=\"44\">We were recently informed of the passing of<strong>&nbsp;Antonio Gallego &#8217;08<\/strong>.
