Focus on Violet Wyld

Violet Wyld documented life in Kenilworth for more than 30 years, known as the photographic chronicler of the village.

Her legacy to our village is her collection of remarkable photographs which captured the local events, homes, pets and families of Kenilworth. Focus on Violet Wyld uncovered the many dimensions of her eventful life through her own words and her extraordinary photographs.

When Violet wasn’t with her camera, she was playing with animals or walking through one of Kenilworth’s parks. Violet had an extra appreciation of animals and the beauty of natural surroundings, which was instilled through summers spent at her uncle, George Maher’s, Michigan farm.
