About Artist: "Marion Kavanaugh Wachtel (1873-1954) was an American plein air painter in watercolors and oils. Extremely well educated in the arts, Wachtel began her studies at the Art Institute of Chicago, followed by work with William Merritt Chase in New York and William Keith when she moved to San Francisco in 1903. It was Keith who introduced Marion Kavanaugh to her final teacher, Elmer Wachtel, who would become her husband in 1904. Settling along the Arroyo Seco in Pasadena, Elmer and Marion Wachtel would become two of the most recognized names in early California painting. Her medium of choice was watercolor, and she preferred to paint outdoors, “en plein-air”. She is best known for her landscapes, but she also occasionally painted portraits and figurative works. Marion Wachtel was a member of several influential Southern California area, including the California Watercolor Society, Pasadena Society of Artists, the Academy of Western Painters, and the California Art Club. She was also a member of the New York Watercolor Club, in New York City. In 2010, this talented artist’s work was included in an exhibition at Saint Mary’s College of California that also featured paintings by fellow turn-of-the-century painters Annie Harmon and Mary DeNeale Morgan."
