Alii Wright - Artist | Vancouver, BC

Highlighting ROAM Gallery Artist

Alii Wright

I have made art all of my life. After high school I graduated from the 2 year Langara Fine Arts program, then attended Vancouver School of Art for 1 year, VSA then transitioned into ECCAaD where I majored in drawing and Intaglio.

Before I got my 'art career' going I became a mother and raising my children became my focus (although I always continued making art in various media)*

I eventually developed and taught a specialized art program at a Montessori elementary school in Ladner for 23 years. While mentoring between 60-100 children per year, I also continued exploring my own creativity and experimenting with a variety of media and techniques.

I had to take medical leave from teaching.
Now I spend my time walking on the beach with my dog and photographing crows or other interesting, inspiring encounters and painting or sculpting.
