Biographical history
Thomas Fenwick was born on March 16, 1830, in Jedburgh, Roxburghshire, Scotland.
He was a Presbyterian clergyman and painter. Born in Scotland, Fenwick emigrated to Canada where he attended Knox College in Toronto (1853-1859). After he was ordained in 1861, he ministered in Métis, Quebec, until 1884. While ministering to the Presbyterians at Leggatt’s Point Church in Métis, he painted in his spare time. In the 1870s, his watercolours of the Métis Falls, the lighthouse in Métis-sur-Mer and entrance to the village were printed as lithographs in the Canadian Illustrated News and its companion publication, L’Opinion Publique, the most popular illustrated magazines available in Canada. He eventually settled in Woodbridge, Carleton County, Ontario.
He died on July 21, 1905, in Woodbridge, Ontario.
