| Emily Carr is one of Canada's
greatest and most loved artists. Feeling a spiritual connection with her
subjects, Emily Carr painted both the landscape and native villages of
Western Canada in a unique and modern style that was rejected during its
time of production. After years of travel throughout the forests of British
Columbia, failing health caused her to remain close to home where she wrote
seven books based on her life. Today Emily Carr is highly regarded throughout
the world and considered a national icon in Canada. Through reading her
books and the study of her paintings ( in poster form, or original ) one
is able to grasp just how incredible this woman was.
