About Darlene

Darlene Stephenson developed her interest in watercolor painting over a span of many years, interrupted by raising a busy family of four sons, and working as a secretary for Buttrey Food Stores and school secretary in Great Falls, Montana.   In retirement she resumed her painting, and soon developed her own style and technique. She was an active member of Studio 706 and Arts Association of Montana. Her work has been shown at various venues with both groups and she also participated in shows and auctions. She has now been in Colorado for several years and displays her art at Sanderosa Art Gallery among other places and is a member of the Windsor Lake Artists. Darlene chooses imagery that holds beauty, meaning, and sometimes nostalgia.

In recent years, Darlene’s signature style has evolved to incorporate old family photographs. The result is daintily detailed, a loving tribute to people and times gone by.  Also, painting on old original sheet music has been fun.
