About

 Emory Fae is a queer, disabled multi-media artist. Informed by their childhood within a strict anthroposophy environment, their experience with homelessness, and the government care system, Fae’s work draws on the mystical and whimsical that was once their escapism, as well as themes of identity and heritage. They are inspired by their degree in History, fascination with Arthurian legend, and the aesthetics of the Art Nouveau movement. 

Fae finds meaning in complicating narratives surrounding the traditions of “Fine Art”, bringing queer, anti-racist, anti-colonial, and anti-patriarchal themes into the visual narrative of classical, often Pre-Raphaelite works. Fae intertwines traditional mediums such as oil, with emerging mediums like digital rendering and bespoke nail art. A professional artist since 2015, Fae is the winner of over a dozen awards, has had publications and showings across the lower mainland and taught over 30 courses on mediums such as watercolour, drawing, acrylic, colour mixing, and more.
