Emily Carew Woodard
Posted by charles uzzell edwards on
Born and raised in Cornwall on the Fowey Estuary, Emily moved to London to seek a career in design where she now lives permanently. Operating out of her Waterloo studio, she has built a large client base, both in the UK and abroad. A darkly romantic element, evocative of the Golden Era of children’s literature is woven into the fabric of her paintings and designs, with clear influences from artists that have inspired her style (Gorey, Dulac, Rackham) apparent in each work. She amalgamates this influence with her own light-touch and irreverent humour. Emily has worked for companies such as...

Born in South London and raised in Stockwell, Rhys began his artistic practice as a teenager doing graffiti, tagging the streets in and around the council estate where he grew up. His street work drew upon overheard conversations and his own stream of consciousness, incredibly creating a SAMO-style of poetry before Rhys had formally learned of Basquiat and the 1970s New York street scene. Upon graduating from Croydon School of Art in 2014, Rhys took his practice from the streets to a purpose built studio, opening his work up to unexpected techniques and concepts. During college and university, Rhys turned...
