Asha Southcombe is an emerging artist and curator living on Kaurna Yarta, Adelaide, South Australia. In 2021 they graduated from Art and Design (Honours) at the University of South Australia after completing their Bachelor of Contemporary Art in 2020.

Asha's creative practice is based in the act of mark making, primarily drawing and scratchboard. Having a passion for both art and science, Asha’s interests lie in how these fields can influence one another, and collaborate in order to communicate information to a broader audience. Drawing from contemporary research in the field of ecology, as well as historical, social and cultural influences, their work aims to communicate the discussions being had within these fields, and encourage curiosity, deeper understanding and care for the world in which we live.

Asha also works as a practicing curator and arts worker, where her values lie heavily in the advocacy of diverse, regional & contemporary artists. She is the current Visual Arts Coordinator of Country Arts SA.
