Dalton Gallery in Rock Hill, SC, Features Works by Tom Stanley and Kathe Rice Stanley
Husband and wife team, Tom Stanley and Kathe Rice Stanley, will be displaying their art in the Dalton Gallery at the Center for the Arts in Rock Hill, SC, through June 26, 2006. Floating/Grounded is a mixed media exhibit and it will be the first time the couple has displayed their artwork together. The couple will also be celebrating their anniversary during the exhibit.
Kathe Rice Stanley earned her BFA in art education from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and her MA in art education from the University of South Carolina. She is currently the art educator at Richmond Drive Elementary School in Rock Hill. In 2002 she received the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Certification. She has worked with over 300 art teachers throughout South Carolina since 2003 by serving as coordinator of the Curriculum Leadership Institute in the Arts.
Kathe Rice Stanley says her collages are a result of being immersed in printed images since adolescence. She says her work, "is a problem solving process - my attempt to control issues that are completely out of my control. The issues I address in my collages are personal yet have global implications; both have the same intensity for me."
Tom Stanley is an artist and director of the award winning Winthrop University Galleries at Winthrop University in Rock Hill. His curatorial projects have included New South Old South Somewhere In Between for Winthrop and the Levine Museum of the New South in Charlotte, NC. His artwork has been displayed at Gallery 80808 in Columbia, SC; Charlotte's Gallery at Carillon; in Homegrown at the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, NC; and at Gallery twenty-four in Berlin.
The Floating series, which will be at the Dalton Gallery, was exhibited at the SC State Museum's Triennial Exhibition. The Dalton Gallery exhibition will include work from his Floating and Neighborhood series. The Floating series was inspired by his research in New Orleans and was exhibited at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts in 2004. The Neighborhood series relies on mechanical drawing techniques as a point of departure.
The Stanleys' have two children. Maggie is a graduate of Washington University and Matt just completed his first year at Guilford College in Greensboro, NC.
