Adobe Architecture
English-born Wilfred Stedman received architectural training in Canada while Myrtle Stedman received her training in Texas. Both were artists and illustrators and Myrtle, in addition to her varied activities with adobe building in New Mexico, was an active watercolorist. The Stedmans' interests were equally devoted to their artistic expressions and their architectural pursuits. The Stedmans worked as a team until his death. After that, Myrtle carried on their full activities, as busy as ever with designing and building, until her death. Their work in adobe is as timeless as adobe itself. Their books are artistically beautiful, authoritative and instructional.
