Carol Mickett and her art partner Robert Stackhouse have been making art collaboratively for over 22 years. They make both two-dimensional and three-dimensional place-appropriate art that focuses on water and water related issues. Museums, private collectors, commercial developers, and state and local governments commission their work.
During their years of collaboration, Mickett and Stackhouse have been featured guest artists at the International Print Symposium in Cortona, Italy, completed a 160 ton Indiana limestone sculpture for the Michael Graves Artspark in Indianapolis, installed a twenty-eight foot bronze walk-through sculpture commissioned by the Hunter Museum of American Art in Chattanooga, TN, and created a 42-foot long walk-through stainless steel and glass sculpture with a 72 foot long mosaic of the rapids of the James River in the lobby of Gateway Plaza in downtown, Richmond, VA.
In 2020, Mickett and Stackhouse were the Creative Pinellas Art Laureates and honored in 2021 with a Creative Loafing Best of the Bay Critic Award for the science conversations they conducted during their Expanding Waters exhibition at the Creative Pinellas Gallery. They were honored to be Artists-At-Sea in 2021 aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s ocean research vessel Falkor.
