About Artist:
William Lester Stevens was born and raised in Rockport, Massachusetts, where he began studying painting as a youth with the artist Parker Perkins. By the age of eighteen, he had exhibited his first piece at the National Academy of Design and entered the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School under Edmund Tarbell. He launched an active painting career and continued exhibiting his work, but was interrupted by a tour of duty during the First World War. After fulfilling his service, Stevens withdrew from the art world, only emerging in 1921 when the Boston Art Club invited him to exhibit paintings. It was also around this time that he worked to found the Rockport Art Association, which continues to thrive today.
