About Me
- Marian Bickerstaff
- Originally from Telford, PA I have been painting in oil since the late 70’s starting with a paint set received as a gift. I studied with several painters locally in Southeast PA and also at Montgomery County Community College. I received several awards from the Art League of Ocean City and the Perkiomen Valley Art League shows. In 1990, one of my pieces – Skippack Barn in Snow II, was chosen for the cover of the Souderton Independent’s Christmas Insert. Some of my works have been sold at auction for non-profit fundraisers. My early works were signed “Marian Alderfer” and later works are signed “MB” in open heart shaped letters. Most of my works are landscapes or seascapes. More recently, after moving to Ocean Pines, MD in 2007, I have begun experimenting with water soluble oils, acrylics, pastels, mixed media and computer generated art in a wider range of subjects. I am also an active photographer and use many of my photos for my artwork. I am a member of the Art League of Ocean City, the Ocean Pines Camera and Garden Clubs and Worcester County Council for the Arts.
