Juliet Emlyn’s quirky and unique drawing style truly makes her stand out as an expressive and original artist that Collingwood is very lucky to have.  Coming from a very artistic family, Juliet has two sisters who also love art.

To Juliet, art isn’t just about the visual aesthetics - it’s a form self-expression and her way of unwinding. As she puts it, “You can really get lost in your art and feel like you’re in a different time and place.”  Her colourful and light-hearted works are inspired by both cartoons and online artists.  Juliet can be found working on her pieces on her iPad, as she enjoys a mix of creativity and technology when making art.

Aside from being an amazing artist, Juliet is also a very passionate and talented athlete.  In badminton, she has won provincials three times in a row and is second in Canada.  She has also been invited to the prestigious Pan American games.  Juliet also plays field hockey at a high level and is on the Rob Short Academy team.  

Juliet hasn’t had any previous exhibitions for her art nor any upcoming ones, but she has expressed that she would love to someday.  She has stated that after high school, she plans on pursuing a career that allows her to express herself through artistic means. We look forward to seeing Juliet’s next works and future success in an artistic career!
