"I try to bring to my landscape paintings a sense of place, to have a clear and fresh approach, and to integrate within my work something from deep inside of me. I like for people to feel, experience something when they view my work. I want to grow as an individual, spiritually and emotionally, and have that translated into my paintings." Inspiration for Mrs. Stadler’s art comes mostly from nature. Landscapes are her favorite subject. She tries to infuse them with light and a sense of place while using a clear, fresh approach. Mrs. Stadler has served on the board for the Rockingham County Fine Arts Festival and as president of the Rockingham Studio Group She has been a member of the Greensboro Artist League, the Associated Artists of Winston-Salem, and the Danville Artist League.
