Connie Newton Stancell's art is deeply rooted in the natural world. Her inspiration comes from a variety of sources including sights seen during far-flung travels across the globe, the rural New England dairy farm on which she was raised, and the extensive rock garden she cultivates in coastal Connecticut.  

Stancell brings a blend of curiosity, insight, and humility into the work she creates. She is an active member of The National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) since 2010 and has embarked on a variety of educational pursuits to hone her craft. Stancell received a B.A. from the University of Massachusetts (Amherst, MA), and has pursued additional studies at The Corcoran School of Art (Washington, DC), The School of the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, MA), and The Spruill Center for the Arts (Dunwoody, GA).

(Fairfield, CT), Silvermine Art Gallery (New Canaan, CT), Flinn Gallery (Greenwich, CT), Bendheim Gallery (Greenwich, CT), University of Connecticut Stamford Art Gallery (Stamford, CT), Sarah Lawrence College (Bronxville, NY), College of New Rochelle (New Rochelle,NY), Salmagundi Club (New York, NY), National Arts Club (New York, NY), Fairleigh Dickinson University (Hackensack NY), and Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art (Marietta, GA), and Morris Brown College (Atlanta, GA).
