Born Jane Caroline Mahon in Detroit, Michigan on July 21, 1863. Married Louis Crandall Stanley, who was at one time president of the Detroit Archaeological Society. Died October 31, 1940 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, after a brief illness. She had been living at the home of her son, George Stanley, a member of the Geology Department at the University of Michigan. Her daughter, Alice Stanley Acheson, was also a painter and the illustrator of New Roads in Old Virginia, and her father-in-law, John Mix Stanley, was a painter of Indians and western landscapes.
Stanley studied with Charles Sanderson, Louis K. Harlow, H. H. Hallett, and S. P. R. Triscott, and in London with Leonard Richmond. She was a charter member of the Detroit Society of Women Painters and Sculptors and was active in several other artists’ societies. Most of her paintings depict scenes observed during her world travels. She continued to seek out new inspiration for her work even as she grew older, traveling to Mexico and Central America three years before her death.
In a brief announcement (11-6-27) of her return after a year spent in northern Italy and the exhibition of her paintings at the Bonstelle Playhouse Gallery, the Detroit Free Press wrote, “Her sketches of Venice depart from the too-familiar beauties known to the genus ‘tripper,’ and find the flavor of native life in the city.”
Mrs. Walter Parker bequeathed thirty of Stanley's watercolors to the University of Michigan Museum of Art, Ann Arbor, in 1954. The Detroit Art Institute also owns works by Stanley, as does the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the National Museum for Women in the Arts.
