| One of Canada's leading artists, Emily Carr worked with an
Expressionist* painting style on native subject matter that was
groundbreaking because it focused on capturing images of the vanishing
First Nations' culture of British Columbia, especially along the Coast
Salish around Victoria and the Nootka on the west side of Victoria
