Marion
Stephenson is a professional artist who works primarily in pastels and oils, as well as
commissioned murals. Born and raised in a small town in Indiana, Marion has painted since
childhood. A graduate of the Kendall School of Design, Marion's career started as a
graphic designer in New York city. While there, Marion studied classical art at the Art
Students League with some of the finest artists in the country.
Whether
working in oils or pastels, Marion looks for the contrast between light and dark values,
and cool and warm colors. Her painterly style shows clean colors and strong strokes. As
for what her intention is, she replies it is to "give the viewer a moment in time, a
feeling that will connect the individual to the painting".
Marion's work
has been exhibited in numerous galleries, juried exhibits, and solo shows. She has
completed many public and private commissions ranging from landscape paintings to murals.
Included in her body of work are two large outdoor murals, one for the city of York, PA
and the other for the National Watch and Clock Museum in Columbia, PA. She is currently
exhibiting work at festivals throughout the Northeast, as well as various
galleries throughout the US.
