Alice Haskell is a multidisciplinary, figurative artist based in Suffolk. She works predominantly in drawing and acrylic painting, watercolour, oils, as well as linoprint.
Alice leads workshops and teaches Art across the UK.
​
Alice's work examines the human experience, emotion and relationships, often through the lens of biology and anatomy.
Alice has built a portfolio of public engagement work used in science and research - working with University College London Wellcome Centre for Neuroimaging, University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research and RCGP North East London Faculty.​​
Absolutely loved making this enormous pair of lungs + heart in Colchester's A Thread above the Rest.
I was thrilled to see that the Empowered Journey's project, which I was involved in throughout last year, culminated in a wonderful exhibition in central London.
​
I provided Live Portrait Drawing throughout the evening and drew around fifteen lovely faces.
I am now an upstairs person at Old Jet! Thrilled with the new space xx
I began the year with lots of lovely work at The Art Station - an Arts charity/studio space in Saxmundham, Suffolk.
​
​
Alongside this, following our workshop in October, I had the task of creating illustrations for the Empower Dementia Network website. These have featured flora and fauna from across the globe, from baobab to bamboo.
In December I had the pleasure of heading to London King's Cross for the Illustrator's Fair, with lovely friend Lisa Mellows.
​
Over in Edinburgh, a print of my portrait arrived at Edinburgh University Library, alongside my work on the Unseen Hands Project, as a part of exhibition there focusing on the lived experience of people living with HIV.
This time of year is perfect for giving big, and this pet portrait of Hugo was a great example of that.

A long trip to Edinburgh was a great opportunity to get to know YouthSpark, a group of young people in Leith who are passionate about redeveloping their local green spaces.
​
We collaborated with several creative sessions across the end of the month and hope to create a large artwork/output in the new year.
​
My work continues with Prof Sammy Mason, and the Ouroutdoors team. Ouroutdoors is an app created by several researchers that can be used to rate the wellbeing benefits of green and blue spaces.

Work has begun creating the colouring book for Grace's project: Conversations about Cancer.
​
This month we've been hearing more from generous individuals who have shared about their experience of childhood cancer.
With these surveys and interviews, we are aiming to create a thoughtful and effective resource for children and parents on Oncology wards across the UK.
I was thrilled to be part of the Old Jet Open Studios and Exhibition, among so many extremely talented, hardworking friends.
This month I completed my largest oil painting yet.

Words from Niamh - ​
"Too many people still think that if you receive an HIV diagnosis that life is over. This is entirely wrong. It's helped me rediscover myself and its opened up so many amazing things. I refuse to be discarded and discounted. I am not on the scrapheap"
​
The first meeting of the Empower Dementia Network, using creative methods to discuss how to improve dementia care across the UK.
​
Co-facilitated with the brilliant Faye Watson.
Continued work with Frankie Vale and her wonderful team of co-curators, using art to express the lived experience of Breast Cancer.
​
This project has spanned across several months and the ladies have created some incredible work. Looking forward to seeing this work exhibited some time in 2025!
