At 94, Doris McCarthy remains one of Canada's great living artists, prolific in her output. With a special passion for the Canadian landscape, she carries on the tradition of the Group of Seven. An avid traveller who taught art for forty years, Doris paints with a joyful energy that often feels unparalleled. Every summer she makes a pilgrimage to her summer home on Georgian Bay, where rich days of painting are interrupted by visits from old and new friends and old and new memories. As the latest part of her memoirs, Doris documents her months on the Bay, and discusses her approach to life, her work, and the world around her. We come to understand why she has become one of Canada's greatest treasures. Full of images of her work, as well as photographs of Doris, her home, and friends and colleagues, "Doris McCarthy: Ninety Years Wise" is an extraordinary window on this remarkable life.
