About the Author
Young, spirited and rebellious, Emily Carr escaped a strict Victorian household to study art in the Paris of Picasso and Matisse. In middle age, she shook the dust of acceptable society from her shoes and began a passionate journey into the wilderness of British Columbia; the power of her genius made her one of the twentieth century's great painters. Fortunately, she also wrote. In her books, her warmth, her humanity, her sense of fun and the ridiculous combine to present a self-portrait of a remarkable woman and artist. -- Mary Pratt
Rosemary Neering has written many nonfiction books, including a biography of Emily Carr for children. She lives in Victoria, BC.
Review
"Carr's economy of words and the deceptive simplicity of her structures reveal her depths carefully, expressing emotions that linger just as effortlessly as they appear to have been set on the page." (Art Book News Annual 2006 2006-07-15)
