Biography
Kyle was born in Craigavad, County Down and educated at home.[1] She was the youngest daughter of the businessman George Wilson Kyle.[2] Her niece Frances Kyle became the first woman admitted to the bar in Ireland.[3] Kyle studied art at the Académie Colarossi in Paris beginning in 1883.[4] Kyle then continued her studies at the Belfast School of Art, where she was to win prizes in consecutive years.[5][6] She was financially independent and as such had no real need to sell her work, so often she would give paintings away.[7] She was seen as eccentric and was an active Unionist, on occasion travelling to press the Unionist cause in London.[7]
On her return to Ireland, Kyle joined the Belfast Ramblers' Sketching Club. She exhibited her work in the Belfast Art Society from 1894 to 1928 where she was an active member,[8] who became an honorary member in 1920.[9] She was also a member of the Ulster Academy of Arts,[10] where she was elected honorary Academician in 1930.[7] She exhibited widely including at the Royal Hibernian Academy, Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Royal Society of Artists, and the Paris Salon.[2] The Belfast Museum and Art Gallery held a retrospective of her work comprising more than sixty paintings in 1945.[9] Kyle travelled extensively across Europe where she painted many market scenes and harbours, although still-life and flowers are also a feature. She spent many summers working in Ardglass.[11]
She died at home on 25 February 1950 following a lengthy period of ill-health.[12] In her last will and testament Kyle stipulated that she was not to be removed to a nursing home or hospital for treatment. She also requested that a surgeon remove one of her vital organs before burial and that she be interred beside her Mother. Her maid and friend Sarah Mallon was a beneficiary.[13] Kyle bequeathed eight paintings to the Belfast Municipal Gallery.[7]
The Naughton Gallery, Queen's University Belfast, held a retrospective of her work in 2004.[14] Her work can be found in the collections of the Ulster Museum, the Royal Ulster Academy of Arts,[7] North Down Museum, Queen's University Belfast, and Belfast City Council.[15]
