- Notice biographique
- Rody Kenny Courtice (née Roselyn Kenny and also known as Roselyn Hammond after her first marriage) was one of the first women to study at the Ontario College of Art with Arthur Lismer, winning a scholarship each year (1920-1924). She attended the Art Institute of Chicago (1927), where she studied puppets and stagecraft with Tony Sarg. She continued those studies in New York, London and Paris. In 1950 she attended Hans Hofmann’s summer school in Provincetown, Massachusetts. She worked as the librarian at the Ontario College of Art (1925-1926) and as Assistant Instructor to Arthur Lismer for Children’s Classes for ten years. She was also Assistant Instructor to J.W. Beatty at Port Hope Summer School. She taught at the Doon School of Art and Teachers’ Summer Course with John Alford. She exhibited at the Tate Gallery, London, in Brazil, New York at the World’s Fair (1939), Riverside Museum, the American-British Gallery, New York and Victoria College, Toronto (solo show 1951). Courtice was a member of the Royal Canadian Academy, the Ontario Society of Artists, the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour, the Canadian Society of Graphic Art, the Heliconian Society, and the Federation of Canadian Artists. Courtice often gave her date of birth as 1895, but 1891 is correct.
