Standish received a BA in [psychology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology "Psychology") from [Antioch University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antioch_University "Antioch University") in 1996. Standish’s debut painting exhibition took place in Los Angeles in 2002, and received a highly favorable review in FlashArt magazine. More recently, Standish was positively profiled in _[Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juxtapoz_Art_%26_Culture_Magazine "Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine")._ Works by Standish are in the collection of noted [art collector](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_collector "Art collector") [Lewis Manilow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Manilow "Lewis Manilow"), and in the collection of the [Los Angeles County Museum of Art](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_County_Museum_of_Art "Los Angeles County Museum of Art") (LACMA). A November 2008 show by Standish at the Carrie Secrist Gallery of [Chicago, Illinois](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago,_Illinois "Chicago, Illinois") garnered a positive review from the _[Chicago Tribune](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Tribune "Chicago Tribune")_, which reported that “Standish’s use of logos suggests ironic social commentary, as if, say, Nike or Citibank were ‘sponsors’ of his street people. It’s an oddity one puts up with for the sake of his dazed, tremulous nocturnal vision”
