Stanton Englehart


I grew up next door to Stanton, Pat and their kids. Their daughter was one of my best friends.
I highly recommend that you check out this site about a wonderful artist.
Stanton is suffering from Alzheimer's now and no longer paints. It breaks my heart and I feel so strongly for Pat now that she is his caretaker.
I love them both and bought this book in support of them.

After receiving the book and seeing the work he produced in the 80's and 90's I almost wish I hadn't left Colorado. Isn't hindsight great? Imagine if he had been my art professor in college. The more I read about him and how he paints the closer I feel.
You can view and purchase Stanton's work at Toh-Atin Gallery in Durango, CO.
