About Me
Welcome to my creative corner! I’m Alaina Drake, a passionate artist specializing in graphic design, photography, and traditional art. My journey began with a deep fascination for visual storytelling and has evolved into a dynamic career where I bring ideas to life through multiple artistic mediums.
Born and raised in Houston, Texas. I am now located in creative center of the world, New York City, to expand and explore all that this crazy city has to offer, and to see how far I can push the limits of my skills. I blend technical skill with artistic vision to create captivating designs, striking photographs, and timeless traditional pieces. Whether it’s crafting a unique brand identity, capturing the essence of a moment, or producing hand-painted artwork, I am committed to delivering high-quality work that resonates with my clients’ needs and aspirations.

Inspiration
Asking me to name my favorite artist is like asking me to pick a favorite child—it’s simply too difficult! I draw inspiration from a wide array of artists across various styles. However, there are a few who have particularly influenced my journey and fueled my passion for art from a young age. These artists have been a guiding light, shaping my aspirations and inspiring me to continually evolve and refine my own creative path.

Fun Facts
While most of my fun facts revolve around my creative crafts, I do find myself having some quirks! My favorite color is burgundy, favorite movie is The Iron Giant, and if I was going to pick one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would probably be French bread. I also pride myself on being an art history enthusiast, so don’t hesitate to chat with me about my favorite eras: Impressionism and Modernism!
