Functional, one-of-a-kind art will invite you to freedom and connection
Ashlynne Berkebile, the talent behind AZ Oilscapes, paints a world where art meets nature. Her flat canvas panel pieces transform ordinary spaces into serene escapes. “Each piece is a unique blend of art and functionality, making them perfect for gifts or to elevate your living space,” she explained.
Berkebile is a self-taught artist who creates from the heart. “Every piece offered in my store is made with so much care and love,” she said. “I truly enjoy creating these pieces and want you to feel that when you open up your item and bring it into your home. Creativity is therapeutic, and I want to share that freedom and connection with others through my artwork.”
This area is small-town living at its finest.
One of her standout creations is the hand-painted light switch cover, exemplified by the starry sky design. “These functional pieces are more than mere décor,” she said, “they’re a gateway to serenity. Berkebile’s light switch covers can be a unique addition to a child’s bedroom or a thoughtful gift for nature enthusiasts.”
Berkebile’s connection with the Alleghenies region runs deep. “This area is small-town living at its finest,” she said. “After living elsewhere for a few years, I am so grateful for the community atmosphere and support for local business that is abundant here in the Alleghenies.”
