North Shore of Lake Superior

Thomas Kemp Kieffer (Jamaican-born Canadian, 1921-1999) noted wilderness & landscape artist, and printmaker. Kemp Kieffer’s intimate views of nature are the product of nearly 50 years of exploring and painting from north of Lake Superior, Algonquin Park and many wilderness regions in central, southern and eastern Ontario, Canada. Kemp was born in Jamaica in 1921, and lived there until about the age of seven before his family moved to England in 1928, where he received his early education. During WWII, from 1940-47, he served in the Royal Air Force and Royal Artillery divisions. After the war, he briefly returned to Jamaica for two years to work. In 1949, he moved to Canada and attended the Ontario College of Art for four years where he studied fine art.
