Evelyn Carslaw née Evelyn Jane Lochhead Workman (8 March 1881 – 19 September 1968) was a Scottish landscape painter and illustrator.[1]
Carslaw was born in Glasgow and attended the Glasgow School of Art from 1897 to 1907.[2] She then studied in Paris and travelled extensively, painting landscapes in Spain, Italy and the Netherlands, working in both oils and watercolours.[3] In 1905 she married a surgeon, Dr RB Carslaw, and together they had five children.[4] The family lived at Rhu on Gare Loch in Argyll and Bute and were keen sailors. In 1944 Dr Carslaw published Leaves from Rowan's Logs, an account of a yacht cruise around the west coast of Scotland, which contained numerous illustrations by Evelyn Carslaw.[3] [2] Later in life she lived at Helensburgh and became friends with Norah Neilson Gray.[4] Carslaw was a member of the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists from 1905 and also exhibited several paintings with the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts.[4]
