Emily Carr byla kanadská umělkyně a spisovatelka, jejíž dílo bylo silně inspirováno domorodými národy pacifického severozápadu. Patřila mezi první malíře v Kanadě, kteří přijali postimpresionistický styl, ačkoli širšího uznání se jí dostalo až v pozdějším věku. Její umělecký projev se postupem času posunul od původních témat k motivům krajin, zejména lesních scén. Jako spisovatelka byla jednou z prvních kronikářek života v Britské Kolumbii. Její práce jsou oslavovány pro svůj jedinečný pohled a význam v kanadském umění.
