Born in Brooklyn Heights, Stevenson (1890-1965) lived there her entire life. In New York she studied at the Pratt Institute and the Art Students League, where her instructors included John Sloan; in Provincetown, she worked with Hans Hofmann. She was also a curator at the Brooklyn Museum for many years, and that museum holds many examples of her work, as do the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. and the New York Public Library. Stevenson maintained many professional associations during her career, among which she was president of the New York Society of Women Artists.
