Landscape painter. Born in St Thomas, Canada on April 7, 1872. Kilpatrick was educated in the public schools of Winnipeg and moved to the U.S. in 1892. By 1907 he had settled in southern California and established a commercial art business. He studied locally with William Wendt and often accompanied him on month-long painting excursions. A businessman until middle age, in 1922 he sold his commercial art business and devoted his remaining years to painting fine art. He was the first artist to discover the beauty of Morro Bay. During his art career he received national acclaim and was elected an Associate of the National Academy.
He had a studio-home in Eagle Rock near Los Angeles and in Morro Bay until his death in San Luis Obispo, CA on Aug. 17, 1953. He numbered most of his canvases verso with a number circled in black. He used several different signatures, sometimes dating his paintings as well as well as titles. He would sign his paintings : "A.E. Kilpatrick", "Aarron E. Kilpatrick", or, "Aaron Kilpatrick".
He ehibited at Del Monte Art Gallery (Carmel), 1910; San Francisco Fine Art Association, 1911-16; Calif.-Panama Expo (San Diego), 1915 (bronze and silver medals); Leonard's Gallery (Los Angeles), 1923 (solo); Biltmore Salon (LA), 1925, 1932, 1935; Carmelita Gallery (LA), 1926; Nicholson Gallery (LA), 1927, 1930; Eagle Rock Artists, 1931.
