Carolyn’s work is deeply rooted in vibrant Peranakan culture, intertwining contemporary elements with traditional practices. She focuses on preserving Peranakan bridal attire legacy while fostering cultural unity echoing Singapore's rich cultural mosaic. As a Nyonya, she has vested time and energy in uncovering her roots and unearthing this ‘disappearing’ culture. Her pieces are distinctively vibrant, modern with her trademark gold embellishments and a staggering amount of detail paid to every individual masterful work. Carolyn dwells in the reconstruction of her Peranakan heritage and intends to resurrect it through her art. She pensively chooses her subjects and weaves together her philosophical beliefs and treasured culture in every of her paintings. The evolution of Carolyn’s artistic practice has led her to produce some of the most assertive works in the field of Peranakan contemporary art. Her provocative subjects question the lasting stereotypes of purity and chastity of the bride through today’s social media culture, seeking reconciliation between the contemporary and the orthodox. Law's work has been exhibited internationally in Singapore, Hong Kong, Düsseldorf and New York, showcasing her unique blend of heritage preservation and modern artistic Painting, she believes, is healing for the soul and she regularly practices it for own her well-being as well as for others dearest to her.
