- Summary:
- Both a prolific painter and an accomplished writer, Carr was more comfortable in the raw wilderness than in the tea rooms of London, and more at home with her unique pets than with the people around her. Despite numerous setbacks and disappointments, she persevered to become the West Coast's most celebrated artist--and a Canadian icon. Her story is a testament to individuality and an inspiration to all.
