“Bronze and Brick”

The Emily Carr statue near the Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia, is a bronze sculpture commemorating the famous Canadian artist and writer. Created by sculptor Barbara Paterson, the statue depicts Carr standing with her pet monkey, Woo, perched on her shoulder, and her dog, Billie, by her side. Carr is shown holding a sketchpad, symbolizing her deep connection to nature and her work documenting the landscapes and Indigenous cultures of the Pacific Northwest. The statue captures Carr’s independent spirit and her significant contributions to Canadian art and literature. https://ik.imagekit.io/lens/media-snapshot/8bfc936007bc91d56ca5b46271d78638a9cbe927914b315b509adc2ed4caddcf.jpg
