Journalist Nancy Ellis once wrote that Stanley's "evocative works come to the viewer through her unerring eye, impeccable hand and generous heart."
Stanley grew up in Farmington, New Mexico, but moved to San Francisco when she was 18 to attend the Art Institute. She married sculptor Rodger Jacobsen and together they have created a life of family and art, both teaching as well as continuing to pursue their individual work.
