Cynthia Kenny (born 1 May 1929) is a British painter known for her sketches, watercolours and oil paintings of the skyline, buildings and landscape in and around Wakefield. Cynthia's artistic talent was noticed at a young age and she went on to work at the West Riding County Architects Department. She studied part-time at Wakefield Art College. She has a particular interest in drawing what she describes as 'dwelling places' and her work provides a record of the changing city of Wakefield. In the early 1970s a pen and ink and watercolour drawing of Garden Street (Westgate) Wakefield was the first of a number of her works to be acquired by Wakefield Art Gallery for its permanent collection. In November 2004 a major retrospective of her work to date was held at Wakefield Art Gallery entitled Cynthia Kenny - Wakefield and Beyond 50 Years - A Visual Journey.[1] Cynthia continues to be actively involved in the local Wakefield Community. In the mid-1980s she established the Cynthia Kenny Handwriting Competition to inspire calligraphic skills in school children.[1]{{rp|7}} References1. ^1 {{cite book|title=Cynthia Kenny Wakefield and Beyond: 50 Years - A Visual Journey|publisher=Wakefield Metropolitan District Council Cultural Services|location=Wakefield|pages=1–7}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Kenny, Cynthia}}{{UK-painter-20thC-stub}}{{England-painter-stub}} 8 : 1929 births|Living people|English women painters|Artists from Wakefield|20th-century English painters|21st-century English painters|20th-century British women artists|21st-century British women artists |
