About the Artist
A lifelong art kid, Candice has dabbled in everything from enamel on metal to stop motion. She eventually became a professional artist working in the animation industry. However, it wasn’t until she discovered the world of fiber art that she found the medium which has become her deepest passion and artistic means of exploration. Her aim as an artist and facilitator is to reflect a love for play, expression, exploration, history, and nature. She strives to share the sense of wonder we feel by creating with our own hands.
