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.

"The Box" -
Not For Sale
This is the very small, primitive
"hideout" in NH where Maybelledid
a lot of her early work and would retreat to
for extended periods of time. No longer exists,
and the land no longer belongs to the Richardson
family. This is the only existing image
of this cabin that we know of.
