The cultural icons of Pharaonic Egypt, from the Great Sphinx at Giza to the famous burial of Tutankhamun, are among the world's most renowned works of art. Less well known, but equally impressive, are the rare and ancient images of people, animals, and landscapes made by the Egyptians who lived prior to the age of the pharaohs, when the formal conventions of Egyptian art had not yet fully evolved. | The cultural icons of Pharaonic Egypt, from the Great Sphinx at Giza to the famous burial of Tutankhamun, are among the world's most renowned works of art.

Since joining the Art Institute in July 2017 as the museum’s first full-time specialist in the arts of ancient Egypt, she has launched a successful “Egyptian Art Pop-Up Talk” series and installed Ptolemaic Egyptian works in the Mary and Michael Jaharis Galleries of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Art. In February 2022, Ashley debuted a new gallery of ancient Egyptian art. Prior to her time at the Art Institute, she held positions at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Johns Hopkins Archaeological Museum; and the Walters Art Museum, where she contributed to the exhibition Egypt’s Mysterious Book of the Faiyum (2013). She has also excavated at the temple of the lioness-headed goddess Mut in Luxor, Egypt. | |||
