Well, Emily Carr inspires from the west, even unseen, not noted. I do see a unique individuality, but I still can’t help thinking about a certain part of west coast art so defined. Guzek’s paintings are wonderful!

You’re right about Emily Carr. What an incredible groundwork she laid, still informing west coast art today.

This might sound like I don’t think they’re great paintings done with talent, but I don’t mean that in the least: they remind me of the paint-by-numbers kids I used to do as a child. Of course way better in product and method! They are beautiful.
