Emily Carlaw’s work employs printmaking and watercolours to explore ideas of femininity through the juxtaposition of fragility and grace with power and purpose. Her works pays homage to the past, evoking a feeling of nostalgia that is heavily influenced by strong and creative female role models she has encountered in her life from great women of the past, storybook characters, her grandmother, mother and younger sister.

Her current series Floral Fables shares stories of coming of age while celebrating sisterhood and friendship along with a touch of romance. You can find Emily and more of her work in her small shop called Freckles and Porcelain which is located in St Peters, PEI.
