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.
