Alison Moy
Alison is a British artist living and working between Lagos, Nigeria and London, England. Before relocating to Nigeria, Alison spent over twenty-five years in the UK not-for-profit sector, leading national charities and advocating for families navigating serious illness. She later lived in the United States, where she taught with ArtReach in Texas, supporting adults, children and young people through creative expression.
Teaching in community settings strengthened her belief that art is not a luxury but a language, and a way of restoring agency, voice and dignity in environments shaped by stress or uncertainty.
This conviction underpins her volunteer work with TAOH. Alongside her mural work in the psychiatric outpatients department at LUTH, she facilitates art sessions in the locked psychiatric ward, creating gentle, process-led workshops that provide patients with moments of creative autonomy within a secure setting.
Alison continues to develop her personal practice exploring place, identity and adaptation. Whether painting on paper or walls, her intention remains constant: to cultivate moments of colour, humanity and hope.
