Emma FitzGerald sketches Halifax and its residents vividly, in colour. She effortlessly catches moments in the life of the city. While she draws, she keeps notes on what she sees — and what people say to her. She has an ear, as well as an eye.
In this sketchbook, you will find spots you didn’t know existed and hear stories you never imagined. Emma overhears conversations at local restaurants and bars, notices prom night in the Public Gardens, learns the recipe for McNabs Island's famous lemonade, checks out Ashtray Rock and finds out where the real fishermen live. The personality and character of the city and its people shine through.
Emma FitzGerald was born to Irish parents in Lesotho, Southern Africa. She moved to Canada at a young age and spent most of her childhood in Vancouver, British Columbia, but now calls Halifax, Nova Scotia home. Emma’s early travels instilled in her a keen interest in people and places. Her art practice is characterized by on-site drawing, place-based research and a sense of the poetic.

Let customers speak for us
Jillian Jackson's whimsical, witty and colourful seed cards always put a smile on the faces of those to whom I gift them. Not only are they whimsical, witty and colourful...they are plantable to boot!! Yes thy are plantable! A card that becomes a plant. How cool is that!!
Beautiful cards! Perfect for wedding favours for family visiting from other parts of Canada
I was on vacation and missing my cat back at home. I stopped in and picked the little kitty that resembles my beloved cat at home. Talk about a wonderful keepsake. When I got home my cat gave it a sniff and a quick bath. It's now proudly sitting on my shelf.
I love everything about this print - the ordinary subject made beautiful, the colour choices, and the common job of giving flowers a drink. Thank you for this joyful interpretation of ordinary life.
The prints are perfect. I can’t wait to hang them in my space.
Inkwell can be counted on to have unique and carefully curated cards, gifts, and tons of local artwork available. And 100% locally owned and operated.
They are the best emotional support chickens!
Perfect card for my 50 wedding anniversary. If you are looking for true sentiment rather than sentimentality this is the shop for you.
I’m resonating with the sentiment portrayed on this card. Strength in adversity. I mean!!! Really! And…, let’s bring back post cards! A unexpected small gift of connection. That’s how mine were received. What could be nicer?
