Biographical history

Annie Worswick Card was born in 1867. She moved from West Virginia to Innisfail with her husband Rev. Gerald Card in 1904. After losing everything to a prairie fire in 1906, the couple moved briefly to Vegreville, then to Fort Simpson in the Northwest Territories, where Rev. Simpson served as an Indian Agent. Upon his death in 1932, Annie Card moved back south, settling in Edmonton. Although she had been painting since the 1880s, it was at this time that she could concentrate on her art.

Working in both watercolor and oil (though preferring the later), she painted a lot of still lifes and scenes with Indigenous subjects. Annie Card was a member of the Edmonton Art Club (joined in 1933), the Alberta Society of Artists, and the Canadian Federation of Artists. She passed away in 1959 and is interred at the Edmonton Municipal Cemetery.
