Nailah Ali is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist and designer. The Coping Nook, an extension of her design practice Coping Creative, is where her tangible creative ventures take form. She crafts multi-dimensional abstract worlds that explore themes of self-discovery, nuances of human nature, vulnerability, and the general complexities surrounding the evolution of black womanhood, specifically ambitious black women who hold many roles.  

Grounded in intuition, her work resists the pull of constant digital noise, embracing art as a tool for maintaining balance, humanity, freedom of expression, and self-discovery. Her ultimate goal as an artist is to maintain a tangible connection to her humanity in a digital world. It is to maintain some level of freedom in a society that is always trying to strip it away. Freedom to be present with her daughter and family. Freedom to engage with and participate more in her community. Freedom to be regularly in tune with her inner child.
