About me

Hello! I'm Ali, a figurative artist working mainly in oil and acrylic.  I have been teaching art to children, adults and families in Folkestone since 2014. 

​

Whatever their age, my students learn the technical skills and principles that are the bedrock of art practice - perspective, light and shadow, scale, colour mixing, paint handling - while never losing sight of the fact that it is their individuality and own way of seeing that takes their art from good to great.

​

I studied Art History at the University of London; Drawing, Painting and Printmaking at the Royal Drawing School in Shoreditch and Portraiture at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in Chelsea, I have a PGCE from the University of Greenwich and have worked in a variety of educational settings abroad and at home, including Kensington and Chelsea College where I was a Course Director. I am DBS checked, and have public liability insurance.
