SUMMARY:The Artist’s Studio with Stan Cottle
DESCRIPTION:Join Donna in conversation with Stan Cottle\, whose works are on display in the Art Gallery January 27-April 27\, 2026. \nAbout the Artist: STAN COTTLE \nA long-time resident of Amelia Island\, Stan Cottle came to photography by way of a career in marketing communications. As a marketing consultant\, Stan produces and directs visual communications for corporations\, which primarily involve digital media\, video\, and photography. Initially\, Stan hired writers\, cinematographers\, photographers\, and editors for his projects\, but eventually took on these roles himself. The addition of another role — drone pilot — extends Stan’s image capturing to include “flying cameras.” \nInspired over the years by his father-in-law\, nature photographer Len Messineo\, Stan has embarked on the journey of art photography. His focus is on landscape and architectural photography\, but he occasionally explores other genres. Stan’s purpose is to capture unique visual perspectives of our environment — natural and built — in order to enhance the human experience. \nClick link to purchase tickets
