California native Ashley Laurence is an artist who has never been contained by any one medium or genre: As an actress, she has worked in both comedy and drama on screens both large and small while, as a painter, the startling power of her hallucinatory canvases is winning her a growing reputation as an uncompromising visionary. Amongst all her successes though, it is undoubtedly her role as Kirsty Cotton in Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II -- a film franchise created by horror legend Clive Barker -- that has secured her place in genre history as an enduring feminist icon of transgressive cinema. - Peter Atkins
