Candace Winter

Candace Winter was born into a family of artists and has been creating art since she could hold a crayon. Her work has always been about bold color, texture and telling a visual story. A painter, collage artist and “creative” she has visited many schools throughout Westchester working as a teaching artist. With her guidance the children make beautiful art papers, create wonderful artwork which Candace then designs into amazing murals. As the children cut and collage their art, there are always many left over bits and pieces. She has been saving all these pieces for years and sorted by color. It was all of these precious “scraps” that lead her to discover this new way to collage . Her current works have a colorful quilt-like appearance and have been exhibited in many juried exhibitions. Candace has found her passion.
