"Napoli II - Limited Edition of 10" Photograph

Janice Stanton is a collage artist and fine art photographer. Born in Montreal, Canada, she now works from studios in New York City and Bridgehampton, N.Y., U.S.A. In 2021, Ms. Stanton was selected for the Visiting Artists and Scholars Program at the American Academy in Rome. Previously, she studied at The Art Students League, The International Center of Photography, the School of Visual Arts, Rhode Island School of Design, NYU, and the Victor D'Amico Institute of Art. She participated in intensive photography workshops with renowned photographers Mary Ellen Mark (Oaxaca, Mexico), Sally Gall (Croatia), Peter Turnley (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) among others. Her in-depth travel experiences, passion for cultural exploration, and refined eye inform her work in all media. 'Painting with paper', her work is a poetic interplay of fragility and strength. Her process involves layering, inviting the viewer to consider 'what lies beneath' and to experience both presence and absence. Recurring themes are knowability, memory and the human condition. Her collages have been featured in many solo and group exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad. She is among the contemporary artists included in the 2020 volume HAMPTON ARTISTS: THE CURRENT WAVE.
