Ali Peate makes plant paintings. Her work is based on a lifelong love of plants, the natural world, botanical science and fuzzy logic. Ali explores these themes in paintings and drawings using the act of mark making to capture the energy of the plant world. Organic shapes and plant patterns emerge in her work, which repeat and evolve to create a personal visual language.

Ali works quickly and intuitively, often working on multiple paintings at once. She works mainly in acrylic, oil crayons and spraycan, as they allow her to capture the immediacy of the gestural forms which interest her. Her paintings are layered and energetic and combine graphic representation with a sense of place.

Ali lives and works in the leafy suburbs of South East London. After foundation studies at Newcastle College she graduated from the University of Humberside with a first class BAHons in graphic design. Alongside her painting, she has enjoyed a successful career as a designer and creative director, winning numerous industry awards working with high profile clients. In 2016 she founded a small creative agency with her husband, Mr & Mrs Peate Limited, which thrives today.
