Born and raised in New York City, artist Ellie Ali's paintings were first inspired by the jazz and literary worlds of the nineteen fifties and sixties, and later by her travels and painting in North Africa, Europe and India.

Her medium is an unusual use of acrylics, chinese ink, wax and oil paints on paper. Paper has always been her co-conspirator; always surprising in its versatility. The human figure is a constant in Ali’s work. They speak to her. She listens.

Ali is a self taught artist who has a very serious approach to her craft and  has exhibited widely in the U.S. and Europe and her paintings are collected internationally.
