Ashton Blyth (b. 1998, Horsham) is an artist whose practice explores growing up as female and the journey to understanding his gender identity.

​

Currently studying MA Fine Art: Digital at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, the works you can view through the side-bar have been made while as a student, and as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.

​

His award-winning debut short film Felt Right Then, Feels Right Now, created using hand-drawn rotoscope animation, captured a childhood memory of gender expression and earned him a place in Bloomberg’s New Contemporaries 2022.

​

A pivotal setback - being removed from the NHS Leeds Gender Identity Centre waitlist - shifted Blyth’s focus from reflection to advocacy. This led to The NHS Transition Tube Map, a visual guide to NHS Gender Identity Services inspired by London’s iconic tube map, created to help other patients navigate support and treatment. 
 

His ongoing project, Definitive Lines, documents the ups and downs of his own medical transition with both NHS Leeds and GenderCare in London.
