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. |
