Born in 1854, Hetty Kimber came to Canada when she was 27 to live with her brother, Frederick Clifford Kimber, a former Sydney Mayor. Kimbers earliest art making endeavors consisted of illustrating menus and cards which generated some income for her family. Here in Cape Breton, Kimber met Louise Bradley McLennan and the two became good friends, sharing their love of art.
