Ali Ampley
Ali Ampley is a Certified International Style Professional, who has a passion for art, fashion, nature, photography and travel. Her style and mostly abstract and she draws inspiration from her passions. Ali takes pride in each of her pieces, never rushing the creative process.
I am a military wife that loves to travel, and I enjoy drawing inspiration from the culture that surrounds me. Some of my work is inspired from places that I have either visited or lived throughout the world. I am also inspired by my own culture. I feel that it is important as an African American artist to create pieces that represent beauty in our culture! I enjoy abstract art because I feel limitless and free to create whatever I am feeling in that moment. I put my heart into each piece, as it is well thought out during the process.
The neck is one of the most sensuously exposed parts of a woman’s body. My neckwear is designed to stimulate the deserved attention to this area with exotic flamboyance.
My pieces represent my avant garde style and the “ROAR” of the gentle lioness every woman possesses.
EB has all of your needs covered, from statement events to statement pieces—Custom Neckwear, Event Decor, Visual Advertising and Fashion Consulting.

Mariby Corpening’s personal favorite, The Mama Love Project.
As a conqueror of domestic violence, sexual assault, homelessness, an abusive marriage, I use my life experiences and lessons to create sacred spaces and moments where clients feel safe, loved and comfortable fully expressing their truth to be completely set free from their hidden secrets and life challenges. I help them easily open up their heart space. I help women leaders and entrepreneurs relinquish the title, take off mask and release the courage to love themselves beyond what they do and reposition their life to manifest a mission that’s more than what you make.
