A painter born in London who studied at the Slade School, Kennedy was distinguished by his mythological painting. He died in St Ives at the young age of forty-six, having been made an Associate of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1896, just two years before his death. He had already been elected to the ROI in 1883, and his primary exhibition address remained in London.
His wife was Lucy KENNEDY (nee Marwood), who is also listed as a painter of figures and domestic subjects, and who exhibited primarily in London.
A painter of marine and coastal scenes, Kent was educated at Bedales School and Leeds University before coming to St Ives to study under Fred MILNER. He remained in Cornwall from 1918 through 1920, and then travelled and exhibited widely in the UK and abroad. The artist lived at Radlett, Hertfordshire. As yet, no local information has become available about Kent, thus further details would be welcome.
Stewart Kent was born in Scunthorpe and moved to Penzance in the mid-2000s. A largely self-taught artist, Kent's current focus is on marine and landscape work.

The engraver of one known Cornish subject (St Mawes, Cornwall), nothing is known at present about Kernot's time in Cornwall - and there may have been none, as he may have engraved the work elsewhere, based on observations by the gifted artist-architect Thomas ALLOM (1804-1872), as evidenced by his engraving of London from an original study Allom in 1881.
A Mrs James H Kernot is listed as an artist by Christopher Wood, as an exhibitor of two oriental scenes in 1855-56 from an address in London.

Andrew Kerr's coastal scenes capture the essence of the Penwith peninsula. He works from Flagstaff Cottage in Lamorna, originally the home and studio of his illustrious forebear Samuel John Lamorna BIRCH.
Born in London, the son of James Lennox KERR and his wife Mornie (Elizabeth Lamorna BIRCH), the artist daughter of Samuel John Lamorna BIRCH, Adam was brought back to Flagstaff at Lamorna as a new-born.
He was for many years a Director of Marine Hydrographics, working largely in Canada and Monaco, and his working career has taken him on expeditions world-wide whilst his avocation was sketching, drawing and painting. In retirement, he and his wife Judith KERR (also a working artist) are active in the Lamorna Art Society, of which Adam is the Hon President. Adam is also a Trustee of the Newlyn Art Gallery (Building Trustees).
Adam died at home in Lamorna in August, 2016 following an heart attack sustained in France. We join with Judith and his sons in mourning his loss to the marine and arts colonies of the area. His funeral will be held on 16 August in the parish church at Paul.
The artist wife of the late Adam KERR, grandson of Samuel John Lamorna BIRCH, she completed a Fine Art Degree at Falmouth College of Art and now works from the Board School Studios in Chywoone Hill, Newlyn, though she maintains her studio at Flagstaff Cottage.

Julia Kerrison is an artist and illustrator living in West Penwith, who works predominantly in London and Cornwall. Her background in theatre arts infiltrates a creative output which captures the atmosphere of theatre life. She also draws on fables whose appeal is universal. Kerrison was the house artist for Trapdoor Theatre Company from 2000 to 2004, and has spent time in the props department of the Royal Opera House and crafting puppets for NYC's Stagedoor Manor Theatre Training Camp. She employs a variety of media, sometimes working in 3D and using wirework, carpentry and papier mache to produce masks, puppetry and props for theatrical productions and private collections.
A painting by this artist is included in the collection of the Passmore Edwards Institute at Hayle.
Sarah Keyworth was born in Dymchurch, Kent, into a family of four generations of fishermen. She has moved to Cornwall, her grandfather's birthplace, and has just completed a BA in Fine Art at Falmouth University as a mature student.
A family researcher is seeking further information about this artist, who first appears in Kellys Directory 1893 (as painting from life or photograph in oils and crayons, and keeping a shop of artists' materials together with his wife Frances Ann nee Watters, in Fore Street, St Just in Penwith). His listing continues in Kellys 1897, 1902, 1906. The 1901 Census lists his birthplace as Sheerness, Kent, and his wife's as St Just, Cornwall. This latter listing records that his wife ran the aforementioned shop, and that he was painting from home on his own account; presumably he had previously worked to commission.
By 1914, his wife was still running the shop but the artist no longer listed. There are no listings of exhibitions for this artist in the standard dictionaries; further information would be welcome.
Architect and architectural painter, Cheshire-born Killmister's address was in Westminster, London in 1889, but had moved to St Ives by 1897.
He is described as an architect-turned-art student by Tovey, who also reveals that he was a talented pianist who composed and performed his own musical scores in St Ives entertainments.
Born in Cornwall, the artist trained first as an engineer before turning to art, and exhibited in London, Manchester and Paris. He lived at 'Westbourne', St Austell, but had a studio in Plymouth. Some of his work was purchased by King Edward VII.
A correspondent (2023) has told us of a painting by this artist in his possession, entitled 'Barton Farm, Pentewan'.
