About
Ali is a Bay Area-based artist specializing in abstract realism and landscape painting. Ali received her Bachelor of Fine Art in 2014 from Cal Poly, in San Luis Obispo, California, where she studied painting and graphic design. Working primarily with acrylics, she combines fluid brushstrokes and seamless blending of colors, coupled with intricate details to convey the transformative beauty of California’s coastal landscapes. Her artistic journey began as a form of healing during a challenging recovery period, and it has since evolved into a practice that celebrates the restorative connection between art and nature. Inspired by her own memories and experiences, Ali’s work is a tribute to the serenity and resilience found in the natural world.
Ali seeks to create visually striking and thought-provoking pieces that foster meaningful connections between herself, her audience, and the environment. Looking ahead, she's eager to further explore new themes, experiment, and expand her reach through exhibitions and collaborations.

Ali's artwork has been showcased and sold in various group and solo exhibitions across the Bay Area, including galleries and art centers in San Francisco, San Jose, Mountain View, Fremont, San Ramon, Walnut Creek, and Livermore. Her art has been featured in public and private collections, bringing an essence of calm and joy to hospitals, restaurants, private residences, and community events. Ali's participation in Art Span’s San Francisco Open Studios and Silicon Valley Open Studios, Mountain View Art & Wine Festival, and other renowned art shows highlights her commitment to sharing her work with the community.
