Mary Kenworthy (1918–2001) was a painter based in Rockyford, Alberta, whose work documented the landscapes, interiors, and quiet moments of her everyday life. She painted consistently for decades and, while she experimented with a wide range of painting techniques and approaches, she worked primarily in acrylics.
Her subjects ranged from prairie scenes and still lifes to imagined worlds and abstract compositions. The work was personal and intuitive, created without an audience in mind. Painting was simply part of how she observed and understood the world.
Her artwork has been donated to various facilities and collections throughout Alberta. Her family continues to hold and preserve a number of significant pieces from her personal collection.
This website exists to preserve her artwork and present it as faithfully as possible. Many original photographs of the paintings were limited by age, resolution, or lighting. AI tools were used to enhance and restore these images so the artwork could be viewed more clearly. Every detail was kept the same. No creative changes were made. Composition, colour, texture, and detail remain true to the original paintings.
This site is managed by her grandson, Bret Kenworthy, as a way to preserve her work and share her legacy.
