There followed an eclectic career in investment management, retail and technology; then in 2011 she had a catastrophic cycling accident.

From then she decided to follow her passion and become a fine artist, specialising in oil paintings from life with an emphasis on colour. Ali works from her studio in East Sussex and also draws pet portraits to commission. A Brush with Death is her first novel.
