Stallard studied at Camberwell College of Arts, where he was influenced by Tony Carter and tutored by John Hilliard. Having started as a painter, Stallard then moved on to 3D work where he studied at Wimbledon College of Art and developed his skills of site specific sculpture.
Stallard subsequently went on to Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee, which at the time was one of the few public art courses teaching the professional use of public art in the public realm. Stallard has worked for twenty-five years in public artworks within the public realm and his work has been exhibited widely from Canada to Ireland and the Czechoslovakian Republic. This work has included research and development within architectural and engineering practices, as well as processing artworks with multiple stake holders for practical engineered concepts towards public artworks.
