Working from my studio on the Northumberland UK coastline, I paint mainly in watercolours, inspired by my love of the sea. With a degree and background in fashion and textile design I approach each painting with a pattern aspect. Always working to capture the aesthetics of the shoreline and all things nautical. Searching for natural, chaotic patterns, I use composition and the paint to design each painting.
My work has a strong emphasis on illustration and style. I have an obsession with the colour blue and all it's fabulous range of shades. This predominantly blue palette gives each paintings a strong nautical theme and makes them more distinguishably an ‘Ali Elly Design’.
