Ali is an environmental visual artist based on the Northumberland coastline, specialising in marine-focused scientific illustration and design. Her work combines creativity with ecological insight, bringing species, ecosystems and conservation narratives to life through detailed, research-led visuals. After moving away from a background in the environmentally destructive world of fashion and textiles, she continues to draw inspiration from pattern and texture. This influence still shapes her visual language today.
Ali has created comprehensive scientific illustrations for major award-winning international books, translating complex research into engaging and accessible imagery. Driven by a passion for creative discovery, Ali enjoys working across a range of projects, continually exploring new ways to connect communities with the hidden worlds beneath the surface.
