Stan
Mullins
A life dedicated to inspiration and permanence — in bronze, Carrara marble, granite, painting, murals, monuments, mythology, and civic memory.
Ancient materials. Contemporary imagination.
Stan Mullins creates work as a vessel for meaning: a way to carry story, memory, faith, beauty, courage, humor, and wonder into physical form.
A life dedicated to inspiration and permanence.
Born in North Carolina, formed in Athens and Cortona, and shaped by decades of public work, international travel, humanitarian projects, painting, bronze, marble, and granite, Mullins has built a practice that is both deeply local and unmistakably international.
From his studio on Pulaski Street in Athens, Georgia, he has created works connected to Italy, Rwanda, Japan, Bhutan, Congo, the Olympic Games, universities, museums, public monuments, private collections, and cultural memory.
From Athens to Carrara, Rwanda, Kyoto, Bhutan and beyond.
Cortona, Carrara, Perugia, Rome, Rwanda, Congo, Kyoto, Bhutan, the Olympic Games, CNN coverage, Creed album art, Millennium Gate, the University of Georgia, and Marshall University all belong to the broader map of Mullins’ career.
