About
Canadian author and "Blunden Harbour" painter who was inspired by the history and culture of indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast. She was influenced by the post-impressionists and fauvists she encountered while living in France.
Family
She was the second-youngest of nine siblings born to Richard and Emily Carr in British Columbia. Her family was very British, and her father insisted on upholding the English customs and traditions. She was raised Presbyterian and was required to give a sermon to her family each week, something she never quite mastered.
