Ashunte’ Jones, Eris Gallery owner, was born in Shreveport, LA in 1996 to highschool sweethearts Latoya and Christopher Larry. Having grown up on Cooper Road, a rural MLK area, her journey of self expression took many forms. Throughout her life, Ashunte has had many passions but naturally she was drawn to art. The interest was cultivated during her teenage years and blossomed as she attended Louisiana State University to obtain a Bachelors of Science in Biology. After completing her degree, Ashunte delved further into her gift and established herself as a mixed media artist. She uses colored pencils, markers, graphite, pastels, and watercolor to give a partial narrative of her environment, her self reflection, and her declaration.
