- Carolyn Kaufman (nee Reesor) moved to Alberta following her marriage to Stanley Kaufman in 1912. She began art studies in Alberta where she took courses with well-known artists including P.G. Mortimer, L. Petley-Jones, William Johnstone, and H.G. Glyde. She was active in a number of Edmonton art groups, including the Alberta Society of Artists and the Edmonton Art Club; she also served as President of the Edmonton branch of the Federation of Canadian Artists. She had several solo exhibitions and often showed her work in the annual Canadian Painter-Etchers Society exhibitions as well as a number of art venues in Western Canada. She produced a series of over 175 paintings of churches of Alberta, Yukon and Alaska, eighty of which appeared in a book that she wrote and illustrated entitled “Historic Churches of Alberta and the Canadian Northwest,” published in 1958. A number of the paintings were exhibited in February 1972 at the Provincial Museum and Archives in Edmonton.
