Emily Carew Woodard

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 Hitachi, Godiva Chocolatiers, Alexander McQueen, The Guardian, The Times, John Lewis, The National Trust, the Roald Dahl estate and Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity. Emily's skillset stretches from book illustrations to painted interiors.

Her favourite animals are horses and rats.
