Legendary Canadian artist Emily Carr lost her sister Elizabeth to breast cancer back in 1936. It is said that her sister’s favourite painting was an oil painting of “Wild Lilies” which Emily had done in 1893. The painting, which was given to the Sisters of Saint Ann in appreciation for the care they provided to Emily’s sister, has now come to symbolize this story and the hope for a future without breast cancer.
