Description
"Missus couldn't run the studio without me," says Billie the dog.
This perpetual calendar is much more than 12 pictures with spaces for notes. Join Emily Carr's faithful companion, Studio Billie, on this light-hearted journey through a year in his life. It's 1909 and "the missus" runs a painting studio in Victoria, where she gives lessons to students and paints her own works. Studio Billie is with her always, except when "chained to a wretched kennel" when visiting relatives, or when having to spend time "down on cold rheumatic wind-swept lower decks, when they travel with their missuses holidaying."
With Studio Billie's Calendar, you can share a year with Emily Carr and her loyal dog. Use it year after year to record birthdays, anniversaries and other "splendacious" occasions.
About the author
Beloved Canadian artist and writer Emily Carr (December 13, 1871—March 2, 1945) was born in Victoria, British Columbia. She studied art in the U.S., England and France until 1911, when she moved back to British Columbia. Carr was most heavily influenced by the landscapes and First Nations cultures of British Columbia and Alaska. In the 1920s she came into contact with members of the Group of Seven and was later invited to submit her works for inclusion in a Group of Seven exhibition. They named her The Mother of Modern Arts about five years later.
