...Carr spent much of her life in a world of richly drawn First
Nations villages and totems, dark haunting forests, wild beaches
and vast skies.
There, you will meet the unconventional woman –– "the little old lady on the edge of nowhere," as she called herself ––
From Emily Carr – An Introduction to her Life and Art
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.
It is our pleasure to have the opportunity to offer these designs by permission of the British Columbia Archives.
