Description:
|
JAMES BAY. Born in 1871, she called her family's house in Victoria home until leaving at age 17 to study painting in the United States and Europe. She returned to Victoria in 1913 and her love of nature and animals led her to remote corners of British Columbia where she drew inspiration from the wilderness and native people. Carr started writing later in life and published her award-winning novel "Klee Wyck" in 1941. She produced several other best sellers before her death in 1945. The house displays many of the Carr's own possessions, and one room, known as the "People's Gallery," is dedicated to showing works of Canadian artists. |
