Carolyn (nee Reesor) Kaufman was born in Markham, Ontario in 1883, a descendant of the Reesor family who came to Canada from Switzerland in 1804. She moved to Alberta following her marriage to Stanley Kaufman in 1912 and began to study art under a number of notable artists, including P.G. Mortimer, L. Petley-Jones, William Johnstone, and Professor H.G. Glyde. Mrs. Kaufman was active in a number of Edmonton art groups, including the Alberta Society of Artists and the Edmonton Art Club and served as President of the Federation of Canadian Artists, Edmonton Branch. During her lifetime, she had several solo exhibitions, with work included in a number of Western Canadian art circuits. She exhibited with “Canadian Women Painters” at the Art Gallery of Toronto and also created 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” which was published in 1958.
