Happy Birthday to Emily Carr

You will have to experiment and try things out for yourself and you will not be sure of what you are doing. That's all right, you are feeling your way to the thing.
-Emily Carr

Happy Birthday to an incredible writer and painter. She shocked everybody by refusing to ride side saddle. She shocked Victoria's society by walking through town with a pet monkey and a gaggle of dogs. Again and again I go to her work to remember the spirit of nature, of creating, and of working TO KNOW your world and what you love. Happy Birthday, brave spirit. Thank you for your great effort.
