About Karin

KARIN STANLEY is a native Irish sculptor and garden designer living in New England. The Spirit of her work in garden design and art is drawn from the landscape and garden elements of Ireland and Scotland. Karin’s art is inspired by the interplay of sun and shadow with the essential elements of stone, metal, water, fire, and wood. She is fascinated by the power and simplicity of Megalithic art and the archaeological elements one finds in Ireland and Scotland. In both her sculpture and garden design, Karin’s designs exude the energy and spirit generated by ancient landmarks, particularly the symbolic hieroglyphs that evoke nostalgia and resonate with the organic elements that have existed for millennia.

“My inspiration springs from the fusion of music, poetry, and art with a visceral response to the elements that awakens the senses, creating art that enlivens the spirit and daily experience both indoors and out. In garden design and sculpture, my work expresses the movement of sun and shadow through the inner and outer worlds, attending to the need for grace and sanctuary, beauty and tranquility in daily life.”
