Maybelle was born in Dublin,
NH in 1907 as Mabelle Richardson and raised in the Dublin
/ Hancock / Peterboro area of New Hampshire.In the
1920's she studied under George DeForest Brush in Dublin.She
graduated from Keene, NH in 1927. She studied at Boston
in 1928 & 29 before going to new York, where she studied
from 1930 - 1937. She married Willson Stamper in 1937. ( This
was an unhappy narriage and this period influenced her style
of work ).She changed her name to Maybelle and kept her married
name of Stamper for the rest of her life. She followed this by
teaching at the Cinncinati Art Academy from 1938-1943.In the
1940's she visited Nova Scotia several times with friends and we
have unknown/uncataloged landscapes and lithographs from
this period as well. In 1943-46 she visited Captiva Island
in Florida. She fell in love with the island and made it her home
for the rest of her life. She painted landscapes, modern art, portraits
etc, whatever it took to survive in the early period , becoming a
talented, listed and well know artist through all this. Above
all, she is best known for her lithographs and rightly so. We have
early works of hers on masonite, paper, paper bags, canvas. As she
was a relation, this description will be added to as time goes on, and
we dig up the notes left by her. Her work has been in major exibitions
from the 1930's through the 1990's. She died in 1995 leaving hundreds
of cataloged pieces. Nearly all of the pieces offered here are NOT included
in her cataloged works. See the publication "Songs Of Maybelle" assembled
by Jay Williams / McKissick Museum / University of South Carolina.
