Emily Carr
Emily Carr (December 13, 1871–March 2, 1945) was a Canadian artist and writer heavily inspired by the Indigenous peoples of the 3 coast. One of the first painters in Canada to adopt a modernist and Post-Impressionist painting style, Carr did not receive widespread recognition for her work until later in her life. As she matured, the subject matter of her painting shifted from Aboriginal themes to landscapes, in particular, forest scenes. As a writer, Carr was one of the earliest chroniclers of life in British Columbia.
