The Artist

Hi, I’m Ali, and I am a multidisciplinary artist.

My exposure to a wide range of visual practices and passion for flora and fauna led to diversification in my creative career. My practice includes drawing, painting, illustration, preserved flower collage, photography, creative writing and poetry.

I often develop distinct themes and visual portraits empathetic to our natural world.

Collectors also know me for my Artist Edition picture books.

My work has been referred to as “fine art executed with a graphic intention both striking and memorable … with compositions channelled from an innate sensitivity”.

Kind words but my hope is to evoke or convey a sense of the sacred feminine intuitive and encourage mindfulness toward the fragility of all living organisms. 

Working with gold and silver leaf, crystals, precious gems, preserved flora, ink, graphite and paint mediums, I often like to combine these elements into intricately-detailed works.

I celebrate natural beauty through my love of gardening. A daily reminder of the importance to protect the fragile thread which connects humankind to the earth and cosmos beyond. A complex relationship of the mysterious feminine and analytical masculine principles which I seek to intuitively explore through the creative process.

“As a borne Creative it’s exhilarating to suspend the essence of nature to capture our connection with the Divine.”
