Landscape painter.
Born in Marianna, AR on April 12, 1893. Bickerstaff was a self-taught artist
except for a brief period at the AIC. He led a peripatetic existence before
moving to California in 1922. His early years were spent in San Diego, Los
Angeles, and Van Nuys.
He exhibited often in the latter with Paul Lauritz. A prolific oil painter of
mountain and desert scenes, his landscapes often include eucalypti as well as
rolling hills of California wildflowers. Occasionally, he painted seascapes,
still life, and western and Indian scenes. He was adept at promoting his own
work and sold many of them to decorate hotel lobbies, hospitals, mortuaries, and
rest homes.
He died in Ukiah, CA on July 12, 1954.
