Need help with a history project, strangely enough, on Emily Carr...?

Question

im doing a history project on Emily Carr and need a small biography of around 100 words, outlining her main accomplishments as well as contribution to the world of canadian art. I'm guessing there has to be some history- related information in the biography too... thanks in advance!

Emily Carr is one of Canada's most recognized Artists. British Columbia-born artist and writer, Emily Carr (also known as ME Carr) painted the skies, forests and Native Indian cultures of the Pacific Northwest in a style noted for its intense energy and shimmering light.

Carr studied art in San Francisco and England and visited France in 1910-11, but it was in the remote native Indian villages of her home province that she found creative inspiration. One of Canada's most famous painters, her career is testimony to the fact that achievement is not reserved for the young. Carr was 57 years old before her paintings gained national critical attention, and it was in the years that followed that she created the body of work on which her reputation rests.
