MY STORY

I’m Alice Drake, the founder and independent artist behind Alice & Silhouettes. This journey started back in 2022, driven by one simple goal: to create decor that’s beautiful, affordable, and good for the planet. As a digital illustrator and fashion photographer based in London, my work has been featured in prestigious fashion publications like Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, and Vogue. I’ve always loved art and galleries, but let’s be honest — they’re not always the most welcoming spaces. The prices are wild, the atmosphere can feel a bit too serious, and sometimes it’s like you need an art degree just to feel like you belong there. That’s why I built Alice & Silhouettes — to bring that gallery wall magic straight to you. No awkward stares, no sky-high price tags, and no “is this for me?” doubt. Your home is your gallery, and I’m here to help you make it feel that way.

My style? It’s rooted in dopamine decor — a celebration of colour, form, and feeling that’s all about good vibes only. Here’s the thing,  with the world feeling heavy lately, I wanted my art to do the opposite. I wanted it to feel like a breath of fresh air on your walls. A little escape you don’t have to book a flight for. Every piece I create is about turning a plain wall into a space that lifts you up the moment you walk in. It’s that feeling of catching a glimpse of something beautiful and just smiling. I want my art to do that for you. Vibrant hues, playful shapes, and energy that makes your home feel alive. From surreal fine art and oil-painted dreamscapes to illustrated silhouettes and snapshots of faraway places, every piece is designed to shift the mood and bring joy straight to your space. When everything outside feels like too much, I want your home to feel like a pocket of calm, colour, and personality.

Everything I create is made from 100% recycled materials sourced in the UK, ensuring quality, sustainability, and a little luxury in every piece. And because each item supports carbon offset initiatives through the World Land Trust, you can feel good knowing your choices make a difference. Recently recognised as one of Ideal Home UK's favourite independent shops and proudly stocked by Wayfair, Fy!, and Jasper & Jute,  Alice and Silhouettes has grown beyond my wildest dreams, but my mission remains the same: bringing you sustainable, affordable decor to make your home truly one-of-a-kind.
