Who is the artist that signed his works "STOVEKEN"?

I have a lacquered wood wall hanging from the 1960s or 1970s. On it is a painting of a woman with her hair blowing in the wind and a butterfly. It is signed, "STOVEKEN". The colors are all shades of brown with black outlines. I have conducted considerable internet research and cannot find out anything about this artist The piece is absolutley beautiful, and I expect that there is more art by this artist out there. I know very little about where the piece was purchased, but it is likely to be from California. The piece was given to me, and I would like to buy another like it. Please help me find out who Stoveken was and where I can find more art by this talented artist.

I will post a link to some pictures of the piece soon.
