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. Robin Laurence is an award-winning freelance writer, critic and curator. She has worked as a visual arts critic for the Georgia Strait and the Vancouver Sun, and is based in Vancouver.
