Ali Miller is an artist and designer based in North London. She studied Fine Art and Sculpture at Brighton University over 20 years ago, where she refined her ability to express feelings and emotions through her art. She enjoys using a wide variety of mediums, preferring to let the idea determine how best to be expressed - whether it be through huge immersive art installations or small intimate detailed collage that draws the viewer in.

After graduating, Ali worked as a window display designer at Selfridges and Fortnum and Mason in London. At the same time, she started to experiment using household items such as tables, chairs and wardrobes to create her unique artwork. This progressed to using her Grandmother’s unwanted china, as she loved the idea of expressing personal memories onto unloved vintage tea sets.

Ali has exhibited her artwork in galleries from London to Paris and New York to Miami. In 2010, John Jones Framing invited her to run a major exhibition showcasing her vintage upcycled china. Her collections sold out and Ali Miller London was born.

Ali’s latest artwork uses acrylic paint on large canvases, taking inspiration from the chaotic, scary and unknown time during the Covid pandemic. The pieces are full of movement, colour and texture. Ali invites the viewer to be immersed in the story and pulled into the intricate details.

Ali’s work are collages of personal experiences, family history and identity. Her designs are inspired by childhood memories. She is passionate about creating new from old, breathing life into memories so they can continue to exist in new ways.

In the UK, Ali has worked with luxury brands including Paul Smith, Liberty of London and Selfridges, as well as historic institutions including the National Portrait Gallery and the Tate Modern.

Ali has been commissioned to create bespoke tea set collections for Sketch Restaurant of Mayfair, luxury hotel The Grove, and 5-star hotel The Athenaeum in Mayfair. Read more about Hotels & Restaurants.

In 2012, three of Ali’s designs were used in the BBC’s Sherlock Holmes, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Home Sweet Home, Hampstead Heath and Alice were overnight sell-outs, and continue to be best-selling collections. Read more about Ali's teasets TV appearances.
