Bill Stanisich first encountered England’s Lake District through the poetry of Wordsworth and Coleridge. Upon visiting the area in the 1990's, Stanisich was stunned by the beauty and dramatic light, and the ever-present and often foreboding clouds.

from the artist: Old fishing boats have always fascinated me. those on the verge of falling apart, and sinking into the sea seem to call me, and I cannot pass one by without shooting a photograph as inspiration for a future painting.

Their strong simple shapes inspire me to try to somehow preserve their beauty captured at a moment in time.
