San Francisco Watercolor Artist

(1902-1992)

West Coast Watercolor Society

Marjorie Beryll Stevens was born in Terre Haute, Indiana 1902. She lived for a time in Seattle, WA and moved to San Francisco in 1926. After studying to be a chiropractor, she established a successful San Francisco practice. In the 1940's she studied watercolor painting with George Post and then briefly with Dong Kingman. By the 1950's she was painting on a regular basis and exhibiting her work professionally. Throughout her career, she received many awards for her paintings of Victorian houses in San Francisco. She also produced still lifes and landscapes, painted both on location and in her studio. She worked in a bold and direct style primarily using transparent watercolors. Most of her subjects are slightly distorted to accent their shapes. For many years Marjorie gave private painting instruction in her Haight-Ashbury district studio. She also served on the board of directors of the California State Fair Art Exhibition.
