.jpg) The Art of the Life of Emily Carr
Emily Carr, painter, writer, international traveler, explorer, lover of Mother Earth. Our own West Coast artist so unknown and unacknowledged until recently.
Emily Carr was a talented, creative woman ahead of her time, entering realms into which few people, particularly women, would go. She challenged the current thinking of her time about art, about women, about Nature, about native peoples, and about our sense of reality as she sought in her painting for that unity and harmony of Life that she experienced so vividly in Nature, the unity of Spirit and Nature.
Her life was a courageous expression of the inner journey of the Self, seeking to go beyond the conscious world of the ego to the deeper essence of the Mystery of Life. She remained true to her calling to the end of her life ‘always doing’, never ‘done’.
This lecture is about the art in and of the life of Emily Carr - her growing pains, her struggles, her joys and triumphs, and in the end perhaps a peace of mind knowing she had been faithful to what Life had asked of her. It is a heroine’s journey, a very human journey with which we can all identify and one which inspires us to live out our own calling in life with courage and determination.
