A tight, clean copy. "No artist has expressed the mood, mystery, and soul of Canadas west coast as Emily Carr did in her landscape art and novels. This biography captures the originality of mind, fierce and independent spirit, and extraordinary productivity of a woman who defied convention to follow her dream. With a narrative that is at once sympathetic and penetrating, acclaimed writer and historian Maria Tippett chronicles Carr's struggles, wide travels, and achievements." - Publisher. CONTENTS: 1.
