Inspired by the color-field painters and Abstract Expressionism, Standish’s free-flowing use of paint is his way of interpreting metaphysics and theology through various compositions. His works can be found in the permanent collections of LACMA, JP MORGAN CHASE, The Weisman Foundation, Louis K. Meisel, Larry and Marilyn Fields, and BRYANT/ STIBEL, along with numerous acclaimed private collections and have been exhibited internationally in galleries and museums, with a recent group show at Carnegie Art Museum.
