Alison Cooper was born in Libya and studied at Newport College of Art and Florence University.

She has since exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society and won many medals, the most recent being a Silver Gilt for a collection of Dianthus. She has also exhibited widely throughout Britain including the Tryon and Swann Gallery, Malcom Innes' Gallery, the SBA and at Kew in London, and at other exhibitions in Birmingham with the RBSA and at the Botanical Gardens. Her work is represented in the Dr Shirley Sherwood collection of Contemporary Botanical Artists, and photographs are held in the Bridgeman Art Library in London.
