Emily Carr - The Soul of the Artist - Perspectives from The Artist's RoadEmily Carr The Soul of the Artist
Her inspiration came from the Pacific Northwest Coast, first with her many visits to indigenous villages there, including the Nootka Indian mission at Ucluelet and to the Alaskan Indian villages in Alert Bay, Haida Gwaii and the Upper Skein River.
Carr died at 74 years of age after a series of heart attacks. She is revered for her adventurous independence, her writing and her painterly vision and skill. Her home in Victoria is now a Cultural Heritage Site and multiple schools honor her with their names, including the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, British Columbia. Her work has now sold for as much as three million dollars. |
