Emily Carr: A Woman of All Sorts

Now celebrated painter and writer Emily Carr was a force of nature who rebelled against the Victorian constraints of British sensibilities in her otherwise beloved native city, Victoria, British Columbia. After studying fine art in San Francisco, London and Paris, she set off on a lifelong, often lonesome quest for creative fulfillment in the wilds of her Pacific Coast homeland and among its aboriginal peoples. Eccentric, fiercely independent, and unable to sell any of her paintings, she would put down her brushes for over a decade before being discovered by the Toronto Group of Seven whose support would help earn her the title of Canada's "Mother of Modern Art". Below, a short video primer on her life and work, presented by Seattle journalist Knute "Mossback" Berger.

The Pacific Northwest Folklore Society

The society's website provides ample information in the way of history, local event and performance listings, reviews and publications. Also featured is an engaging library of Northwest folk songs with recorded renditions by local artists.

Salute to Richard Gilkey

Painter and sculptor Richard Gilkey was a fourth-generation resident of Skagit County whose local roots ran deeper than the artist friends and colleagues who shaped the Northwest modern movement in the years that followed the Second World War, among them: Morris Graves, Mark Tobey, Guy Anderson, and Kenneth Callahan. Accordingly, Gilkey's work conveyed a style and consciousness of place that set him apart from his contemporaries.
