Inspired by geometry, iconography and mysticism, Stabler creates excruciatingly intricate compositions. The artist is perhaps best known for his hand-cut paper works. Reminiscent of alchemical sigils and cathedral architecture, Stabler's work manages to depict both the dark and the light, combining serious subject matter with his wry sense of humor. Stabler received his BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2003 and his MFA from the University of Pennsylvania. *BC Artist-in-Residence 2008
