It’s wonderful to see you here

I’m Alli!

Thank you for visiting my site – you are always welcome, and I hope you enjoy what you find here. About me: I am inspired by movement, being outdoors, and natural beauty. I believe each of us deserves daily access to awe and I strive to connect with and invoke that feeling in my paintings. My artwork frequently features vivid natural scenery that I feel lucky enough to access, whether in real life or via photo references provided to me. Home is with my friends, family, and in the Mobile Art Studio which I share full-time with my husband. Since leaving Alaska in 2023 we can most often be found in the desert southwest, which is frequently the focus (along with AK) of my art. I love to spend time outdoors and feel like a perpetual beginner, which is part of what motivates me to paint: I want to share my sense of wonder.

It’s never been enough for me to enjoy something on my own. As soon as I find out something worth knowing or experiencing, I want to tell ten people about it. I feel that having a sense of connection with the world and each other makes our lives richer, and by extension, the world a better place. When I paint, I’m focusing my attention and yours on those moments that are exquisitely beautiful.

Values + Impact

My business decisions are guided by my values: awe, dignity, and doing. I love finding ways to build new partnerships or make donations that contribute to positive change in the world. (Send me your ideas here!).

Writing

I paint my way into conveying my overflowing sense of the world, but even that’s not enough! My weekly outdoors column in the Anchorage Daily News ran from 2013-2023. I still occasionally freelance with ADN and for other publications including Alaska Magazine. I also write a blog on this site specifically about art, but – you know. Life, too.

News + Interviews

In early 2022, I did a radio interview on Alaska Public Media’s Outdoor Explorer with Lisa Keller in those final, anxious, exciting days leading up to Mobile Art Studio pickup. Just DAYS upon return with the studio to Alaska, we recorded a follow up episode! In late 2022 I sat down for an hour + long interview on the Virgin Valley Artists’ Association “The Art Box” Podcast, hosted by Steve Dudrow and Linda Harris, where we got to talk art, what I’ve learned from asthma, and my profound gratitude for an unusual (and ever-evolving) education.
