Artist biography
Stephen Morgan Etnier (1903 - 1984) was active/lived in Maine, California. He is known for Landscape, marine, genre and figure painting.
A painter of landscapes, marine, portrait and genre, Stephen Etnier was born in York, Pennsylvania, and maintained studios in New York City and in south Harpswell and Popham Beach, Maine.He studied at the Yale Art School, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and privately with Rockwell Kent and John Carroll.
The following is from Virginia Carouthers:
I had finished re-reading Elizabeth Etnier's (the artist's wife) book, On Gilbert Head. I had hoped to have more information for you, unfortunately the author is vague relative to people's names. Most of her references do not include surnames, but those to whom she referred (with first and last names) were: Virgil Thomson (composer) and Rockwell Kent (artist). I have ascertained that the Jane was indeed the actress Jane Wyatt. Later in the book she also talks about the artist John Carroll.
As I mentioned, the diary covers the period from he Etniers had a daughter in September 1936, Stephanie Jay Etnier.
I was rearranging my library recently and came upon this book, which my mother had given me many years ago. My family had summered very near the spot where On Gilbert Head was written, and my parents were about the same age as the Etniers though I don't believe they knew each other. I remember that my mother told me that the Etniers were divorced later.

A beautiful piece that will add to your décor! less
