Emily Carr is one of Canada's greatest and most loved artists 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.

About Emily Carr Emily Carr was born in Victoria in 1871 to prosperous parents, both of whom died when she was young.  She was brought up by her family and at the age of 16 was forced to make a living from teaching, as it was felt that her desire to attend art school in San Francisco was "unladylike".  

Ladylike or not, two of her paintings have been reproduced on Canadian stamps, showing her characteristic strong brush stokes and dark colours, which style she developed when studying in Paris 1910-1911.  To the best of my knowledge these two stamps are the only Carr-issues world wide.

It wasn't until 1899, when she accompanied a churchman to his mission at Ucluelet on the west coast of Vancouver Island, that her career as an artist took a pivotal turn.  The life and arts of the First Nations village had a profound effect on Carr, and, inspired by what she saw, she began using both the landscape and First Nations people as her subject matter.  She soon realized, however, that she needed to learn technique, so she went to London to study landscape painting.

Emily Carr grew up in a strict household in Victoria, B. C Emily Carr grew up in a strict household in Victoria, B.C., where her English parents had settled. Orphaned in her early teens, she managed to convince her guardians to let her study art in San Francisco at the California School of Design. During her later studies in England and France she began to develop a distinctive style of painting that produced bold and colourful canvases that would eventually make her a Canadian icon.

But Emily Carr's journey of self-discovery was a painful one But Emily Carr's journey of self-discovery was a painful one. Unable to support herself through her art, she focused on managing an apartment house in Victoria for 15 years. It wasn't until 1927 that Emily Carr came to the attention of the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, and was welcomed by the Group of Seven painters when she exhibited some of her work. Renewed by the contact with these talented artists, Emily Carr began to paint vivid pictures of the natural world and West Coast native peoples. It was only near the end of her life that Emily Carr began to be recognized as an exceptional painter as well as a writer. Her first book, Klee Wyck, won a Governor General's Award. Her paintings now hang in galleries across Canada and the fascinating life of Emily Carr is celebrated in a multitude of books and films.

Did you know... At age 41, Emily Carr needed to earn extra money, she raised and sold sheep dogs, hooked rugs, and created pottery based on Native designs.
