"Making stuff"  is what makes Ali come alive.   God gave her the gift of creating beautiful things and that is what she intends to do.    Ali  grew up in West Bend, Wisconsin and  took an interest in art from a very early age.  She began taking art classes as a child and continued throughout her schooling.  Ali  received her first commission at the age of 15.  This project was what inspired her to make art and design a career.   She received her BFA from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee in 2006.   Her focus at UWM was in painting and drawing.  After graduation, she spent some time in Rome and Florence studying art history.   She began showing her work in various galleries and exhibits in the Milwaukee area.   Ali  has been invited to participate in numerous nationally recoginized art festivals in Wisconsin and Minnesota .  She  married her husband Jason in  2007 and  has  lived  in West Bend, WI   for the last four years.    In May of 2010 she began  a new chapter when she relocated the art company  to Houston TX.   Ali is excited for the new opportunities that await her in this rapidily growing city.
