Biography

Alice Mary Lynch is a Textile Artist, Designer and Illustrator based in Somerset, UK. 

Alice grew up in a creative environment in Somerset where her love of treasure hunting, theatre, and costume led to her training in fashion design. The journey took her to Paris, where she spent nine years. It was during this time, working in the fashion houses of designers such as John Galliano and Sonia Rykiel, that she honed the sensitivity to texture and crafted embellishment that define her work today.  

“Visual stories and imaginative play have always been at the heart of what I do. I like to convey fleeting emotions, thoughts, and feelings…the theatre of everyday life and an escape from it….Whimsical, visual melodies and layered memories...The process feels instinctive—like taking a line for a walk, letting the mind wander freely, revealing new paths along the way.”

Alice breathes new life into forgotten fabrics, trinkets, and treasures, transforming them into cherished companions and beloved heirlooms. Each piece weaves together the ethereal visions of her subconscious. 

These carefully crafted characters, inspired by nature's circus, dreams, and imagination, are accompanied by painted keepsakes: designed to spark joy and wonder. 

Real texture and tactility are more precious than ever and Alice’s work highlights the importance of a personal touch, with time and dedication woven into every piece. 

Alice invites you to reconnect with the easy playfulness of childhood and your dreams, while reflecting on the significance of craft in our lives. 

“Made to make your heart flutter, to lovingly watch over you, keep you safe, hold your hand, pass on through future generations…”

Alice has been commissioned by designers and private patrons worldwide and exhibited in galleries in Paris, London and Somerset. 

Ongoing partnerships include Harrods and Fortnum and Mason.
