Personal

Richard Paul Stanley was born in Warnambool, Victoria, in 1961 into a creative family – My father was a professional musician, my mother is an artist in her eighties and my brother is a working artist and gallery owner in Western Australia.

I studied Fine Art at Claremont School of Art in WA, as well as extensive TAFE education, earning several awards. I am the owner and operator of ‘Stanley’s Studio/Gallery’ in Cygnet, located in the Huon Valley of Tasmania, which I have run for over 15 years now, selling my own work.

I work in oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolours, glass, and produce and self publish a series of limited edition prints, cards and bookmarks which are available throughout Tasmania. I am a professional leadlight and stained glass artist.

I also produce ‘Dichroic Glass Jewellery’ (Pendants, Earrings and Brooches.) which is sold throughout Australia, to over 20 Retail outlets.

I am the Chairman of the Huon Art Exhibition Group (HAEG) in Cygnet.

I am an exhibiting member of the Australian Society of Marine Artists ( ASMA).

Hope you enjoyed the site.

Richard Stanley
