'''Marion Kavanaugh Wachtel''' (1875–1954), a Plein_air painter in Watercolors and oils, lived and worked with her artist husband Elmer_Wachtel in the Arroyo_Seco near Pasadena,_California, in the early 20th century. Her work was valued in her own day, and her works were exhibited across the United States. Like most of the artists now known as California_Impressionists, Wachtel relocated to Southern_California after first establishing her career in the eastern US. She trained at the Art_Institute_of_Chicago, and under William_Merritt_Chase in New York. Later, she taught in public schools and at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1903 she journeyed to California, where she studied under William_Keith, and Elmer Wachtel, whom she married in 1904. She painted primarily Landscapes of the dramatic Californian and Southwestern terrain. Her medium of choice was watercolor, but she began painting in oils after her husband’s death. Wachtel was active in arts organizations, including the California_Watercolor_Society (founding member), the Academy_of_Western_Painters, and the Pasadena_Society_of_Artists. ==Marion Wachtel’s Art== *Santa Barbara Coast *Topanga Hills ==External links== *Edenhurst Gallery *California Fine Art Wachtel, Marion Wachtel, Marion Wachtel, Marion Wachtel, Marion Wachtel, Marion {{US-painter-stub}}
