Ali M Williams is an artist and public muralist from Philadelphia. She is interested in how visually altering a space with public art affects the surrounding environment.  Ali has been a visiting teaching artist at Lycée Rochambeau (The French International School), The Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen, Moore College of Art, Fleisher Art Memorial, Project Learn School, The Hillside School, Riverside Correctional Facility, and more. 

She has worked with numerous community groups and outreach programs such as Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Morris Home (the only residential recovery program in the country to offer comprehensive services specifically for the transgender and gender-expansive community), The American Foundation For Suicide Prevention, The Pennsylvania Conference for Women, The Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society, Bancroft’s Jacob Schaefer Center (a day program for adults with autism and other intellectual or developmental disabilities), Mural Arts Philadelphia, The City of Philadelphia’s Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services, and at-risk youth and adults, as well as a range of participants of all ages. Some of her clients include Zappos, Primark, Nasdaq, Target, Verizon, The Wells Fargo Center, New Balance, Marriott Hotels, The NFL, and Blick Art Materials.

Her murals invite you inside a collaged, fabricated dreamscape of paint, mysterious beauty, and contemporary iconography. She’s interested in combining realism with abstract concepts and design to create a surreal experience. Symbolic elements, graphic imagery, and vibrant bursts of color are frequent components of her work. She’s drawn to bold color palettes, and loves to incorporate neon pink as much as possible!
