About
Coastals.co.uk is a contemporary coastal art brand created for collectors who are drawn to the beauty, atmosphere and lasting presence of the sea. Ali Haynes was born in Cornwall and shaped by a life lived close to the coast, her work is rooted in a deep personal connection to the shoreline, its shifting light, weathered textures and quiet emotional pull.
Through mixed media and resin, she creates original coastal artwork that explores the meeting point between memory, material and place. Layered surfaces, translucent finishes and subtle movement allow her to capture the ever-changing nature of the sea in a way that feels both refined and deeply atmospheric. Resin adds a luminous quality to the work, enhancing depth, surface and light while giving each piece a contemporary finish that collectors value.
At the heart of ‘Coastals‘ is a desire to create artwork that feels elevated, distinctive and enduring. Each piece is designed to bring a sense of calm, connection and understated luxury into a space, while reflecting the timeless appeal of coastal living. For collectors seeking original coastal art with authenticity, texture and a strong sense of place, Coastals offers work that is both visually compelling and emotionally resonant.
About Ali Haynes
Ali Haynes is a Cornish-born artist and gallery owner based in Corsham, Wiltshire, whose creative journey has been shaped by a lifelong connection to the coast, a commitment to family, and a long-held ambition to build a career in art.
Her early studies in Fine Art and Illustration, laid the foundation for her creative practice. Like many artists, Ali took a different path for a time, working to support life and family while her artistic ambitions remained close to the surface. After meeting her husband, raising two children, and helping to establish his local butchers business, she eventually created the space to return fully to her own path.
That moment became a turning point. Ali opened her own art gallery in Corsham, where she continues to develop her practice and share her work with collectors who value originality, atmosphere and a strong sense of place.
Coastals.co.uk has been created as a dedicated home for this vision. It reflects Ali’s enduring inspiration from the sea, her Cornish roots, and her interest in creating original coastal artwork that feels both contemporary and deeply personal. Her work often brings together mixed media and resin, adding depth, texture and a refined finish that appeals to collectors looking for distinctive coastal art with presence and impact.
