Rose Anne Huck Stanard
The serene scenes in my art reflect the world around me and my love of the peacefulness of nature. The sights and sounds of nature feed my soul and create a sense of wonder in me. I was born into the Barbour and Hammons families in Southeast Missouri in Poplar Bluff. Several generations of my family have called Poplar Bluff home.
My interest in art began at a young age when I was inspired by my mom, Rose Barbour, and her interest and talent in art. In High School I entered and won awards in local art shows. I studied at the University of Missouri in Columbia and Kansas University in Lawrence. My love of art history, archeology and anthropology encouraged me to study extensively in these subject areas.
For most of my professional career, I has been a graphic designer working with studios and agencies in Chicago, IL, Sacramento and Fresno, CA, Hannibal and Southeast Missouri, and Washington, DC. I am also an illustrator and have won a number of awards for my work.
In 2017, my husband, Rev. David Huck, passed away of complications from Parkinson's Disease. Then in 2021, I married my long-time friend, John Stanard. We now make our home in Poplar Bluff. The rural countryside supplies me with an endless stream of subject matter. In addition, I enjoy painting scenes from our travels across the country and around the world.
The Hudson River School of artists has been a long time inspiration to me as well as the Impressionist movement. I love capturing the light of the early morning on fields and water. I work in a somewhat loose, hopefully expressive style. I think it implies the movement and liveliness of nature in a way more static representations cannot. Many people viewing my work will say, I remember playing in a place like that when I was a child!
