A Hilton Head Island resident since 1999, Stanfield studied at Savannah College of Art and Design and has exhibited widely throughout the Lowcountry.

Festivals

Reggae Pon De River

Set along the riverfront in Bluffton at Bluffton Oyster Factory Park, this relaxed open-air reggae festival blends live music with Caribbean culture and a breezy coastal atmosphere. Performances run for hours, featuring regional bands and tribute groups saluting legends such as Bob Marley, along with original roots reggae, dub, and island-tinged sounds, all framed by the water and moss-draped oaks. Beyond the stage, the gathering carries the feel of a small cultural fair. Food vendors serve Caribbean favorites like jerk chicken, rice and peas, and plantains, alongside Southern staples. Local makers showcase handmade goods, artwork, and island-themed merchandise. The setting is family friendly and unhurried, with small to mid-sized crowds and plenty of room to relax. Attendees often bring lawn chairs and blankets, and some even arrive with kayaks or paddleboards to enjoy the scenery. The focus stays on sunshine, community, and feel-good rhythm rather than big-name headliners, creating a mellow riverside experience suited to unwinding instead of partying hard.
