• Emily Carr (Canadian, 1871-1945). Powerful painter, mainly of British Columbia woods and Native American themes. Lived simply in the woods with her animals and garden. Disliked convention and lack of commitment, felt a sense of “otherness” and rebellion in herself, thus often remained isolated. Grew produce, raised hens and rabbits, made pottery and rugs, and took boarders to supplement her art, until overdue recognition and fame arrived in 1920’s and increased with publication of her two books: Klee Wyck (1941) and The Book of Small (1942).
