Meet Marian Bickerstaff

Phone:
410-208-2508

Work Description:
It is a joy for me to try to capture the wonders of nature around us. I am particularly fascinated by the changing light and its effects on many subjects, especially on water.
I love the beauty of sunsets, clouds and mists, and enjoy trying to capture the Master’s handiwork.

Biography:
Marian Bickerstaff, originally from Telford, PA has been painting in oil since the late 70’s starting with a paint set received as a gift. She studied with several painters locally in Southeast PA and also at Montgomery County Community College.
Some of her works have been sold at auction for non-profit fundraisers. Her early works were signed “Marian Alderfer” and later works are signed “MHB” and most recently “MB” in heart shaped letters. Most of her works are landscapes or seascapes. More recently, after moving to Ocean Pines, MD in 2007, she has begun experimenting with water soluble oils and acrylics in a wider range of subjects including a portrait of her granddaughter, mixed media, and abstractions of waves.
She is also an active photographer and enjoys the creativity of computer generated design.



Recent Work:
She received several awards from local shows and two blue ribbons from the Perkiomen Valley Art League shows. In 1990, one of her pieces – Skippack Barn in Snow II, was chosen for the cover of the Souderton Independent’s Christmas Insert.
