MARIETTA

ARTIST: CRAIG STANLEY

Location: Trailside at Thaicoon & Sushi Bar

About the Artist: I was born in Kansas City, Missouri and at 6 months was adopted from foster care. As long as I can remember, my love of the arts was nurtured with the help of my loving family. While in the 2nd Grade, something very special happened-my love for art was born. The other students in school also admired my new found talent so much that, shortly thereafter, I began selling my drawings. In 1992 at the age of 15, I joined forces with several well-established companies around Kansas City and this led to me opening my own art studio in a popular mall in the City. A few years after graduation, I moved to Atlanta, GA to attend The Creative Circus School. While there, I furthered my knowledge as a graphic designer and illustrator. I also began supporting myself by painting music tour stage backdrops for major recording artist and set props for television shows and commercials. With over two decades of experience in the entertainment industry, I have had the pleasure of working with some of the most world renown people and brands on the planet.
