Additions to May Stevens entries

I'm in the process of expanding the entries about Stevens' painting, in hope of eventually making the whole article more thorough and informative.Artgrrl47 (talk) 20:11, 8 September 2018 (UTC)artgrrl47[reply]

I hope to expand the other sections in the Stevens article, particularly regarding her recognition. It really would benefit from the addtion of images of Stevens' work but so far my search for images that do not have copyright restrictions has been futile.Artgrrl47 (talk) 17:43, 26 September 2018 (UTC) artgrrl47.[reply]
