She has traveled all over the world, and her favorite places are France and England. You will see many French and English scenes in her paintings. She enjoys painting gardens, flowers, potting sheds, antique and quaint shops, fairs, New Orleans scenes, and European villages and seascapes. When Stanton exhibited in New York the Gallery and Studio magazine’s critic, Peter Wiley, compared her work to impressionist Pierre Bonnard. Wiley said her work was in the French tradition. It is gaily energetic and has intimate charm. Stanton is also an author of children’s books. Stanton can be reached by telephone at 601-798-0002.
