Biography

The artwork on this website has been shipped to the galleries listed on the left.

Born in Wichita, Kansas, Max D. Standley is an artist to the core of his being.

Living reclusively with his wife deep in the forests gives him the freedom to immerse himself in his oil painting, engraving, poetry and drawing. The result is paintings and engravings that vibrate with intensity.

"My work is a part I play in the drama of Nature and is a form of self development." says Standley. "Archetypical symbolism is an integral part of the process."

Standley feels that the symbols speak to others on a conscious and unconscious level, allowing them to connect to his transformative vision.
