Having studied History of Art at Emmanuel, Alice joined Christie's Graduate Trainee Programme, becoming a Specialist in the Impressionist and Modern Art and then Twentieth-Century Art departments. She joined the National Galleries of Scotland in 1999 where she is now a Senior Curator, specialising in British, particularly Scottish, modern art. She is a BBC Expert Woman and contributes to television and radio broadcasts about her subject. She was made a Saltire Society Outstanding Woman of Scotland in 2016 for her leadership of the 2015 Modern Scottish Women: Painters and Sculptors 1885-1965 project at the Galleries.
