  • Emily Carr was born in Victoria, British
    Columbia, Canada in 1871. She loved to draw and
    her parents sent her to study art in London. She
    returned home and taught art to a ladies group
    for 4 years. She then traveled to Paris and
    studied art there. When she came back to Canada,
    she didnt feel that people appreciated her
    modern painting style and she gave up painting
    for 15 years. During that time, she ran a
    boarding house, and wrote a book.

    painting again when she was 56 years old. She
    began to get recognition for her artwork, and is
    now a well known artist in Canadian history. She
    usually painted nature scenes. She had a heart
    attack and stopped painting, but continued to
    write books and had her first book published in
    1945. She died at age 74 in Canada.
