In 1913 Schjerfbeck met the art-dealer Gösta Stenman, with whose encouragement she exhibited at Malmö in 1914, Stockholm in 1916 and St Petersburg in 1917.
In 1917 Stenman organised her first solo exhibition and in that year Einar Reuter (alias H. Ahtela) published the first Schjerfbeck monograph.
Later she exhibited at Copenhagen (1919), Gothenburg (1923) and Stockholm (1934).
In 1937 Stenman organised another solo exhibition for her in Stockholm, and in 1938 he began paying her a monthly stipend.
Her paintings were successfully displayed in several exhibitions in Sweden in the 1930s and 1940s.
