About the artist:

Ashbrook Studios was a mass-producing art studio that operated out of Garden Grove, CA from 1974 to sometime in the 1980s. Ashbrook Studios screenprinted home decor items — often on Masonite and canvas. Their work is commonly referenced by collectors as being “illuminated paintings” or “light-up” paintings since several works had windows, lamps or lanterns that have small lights behind them. These vintage light-up pieces tend to be brightly colored depictions of such things as boats, architecture (some with fountains or flamenco dancers), European scenes or views of San Francisco featuring the Golden Gate Bridge, trollies and/or pagodas.
