About
Ali Hall is a Bay Area-based artist specializing in atmospheric landscape paintings with abstract realism. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where she studied painting and graphic design. Her creative journey deepened during a personal recovery period, when painting became a source of healing and reflection. What began as a therapeutic outlet evolved into a dynamic practice that explores the intersection of memory, nature, and emotional restoration.
Ali works primarily in acrylic, blending fluid brushstrokes, seamless color transitions, and intuitive mark-making to capture both the energy and the calm of California’s coastline. Her painterly style is often described as what one might see when one squints and takes in a scene all at once, evoking a softened memory shaped by light, movement, and mood. Each piece carries an immersive quality, inviting viewers to pause and reconnect with their inner landscapes and the natural world.
Her work has been featured in Clean Living Magazine, on KRON4TV’s Live in the Bay, and at national and international art fairs including the Superfine Art Fair in San Francisco, and Reno Tahoe International Art Show, as well as with SAB Gallery in Los Angeles. She also leads creative wellness workshops, helping others access creativity as a tool for reflection and emotional release.
Ali seeks to create visually striking and thought-provoking pieces that foster meaningful connections between herself, her audience, and the environment. Looking ahead, she's eager to further explore new themes, experiment, and expand her reach through exhibitions and collaborations.
Artwork
Ali Hall’s work has been exhibited and sold in various group and solo exhibitions regionally and nationally, including the Reno Tahoe International Art Show, the Boston International Fine Art Show with SAB Gallery, and Miami Art Week with Planet Fashion. She has shown extensively throughout the Bay Area and Southern California in galleries, art centers, and curated programs across San Francisco, Bel Air, Los Angeles, Malibu, Palo Alto, Pasadena, and San Jose, Mountain View, Fremont, San Ramon, Walnut Creek, and Livermore.
Her art has been featured in public and private collections, bringing an essence of calm and joy to hospitals, wellness centers, hotels, restaurants, private residences, and community events. Ali's participation in ArtSpan’s San Francisco Open Studios and Silicon Valley Open Studios, the Mountain View Art & Wine Festival, and other renowned art shows highlights her commitment to sharing her work with the community. Her work was featured at the Clean Living Experience in Bel Air, where she was the featured fine artist, curating the entire $60M estate with her paintings to create a serene and immersive wellness experience.
Ali also appeared on KRON4's Live in the Bay, where she shared the story behind her “Coastal California” series and creative process. In March, she showcased her art at the Superfine Art Fair at Fort Mason in San Francisco, and she exhibited at the Reno Tahoe International Art Show in September. She was also a panelist at the Silicon Valley Influencer Event hosted by Modern Day Wife, where she spoke about her creative journey, the business of art, and the connection between creativity and wellness.
