Artist Statement
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. As a teaching artist, she has visited many schools throughout
Westchester making art papers with young students in a style similar to that of
children’s book illustrator Eric Carle. Using this paper the children make
incredible inspiring art. She takes all of these creations made by many hands
and arranges them together whimsical murals. As a result of this process, there
are always many bits and pieces of beautiful handmade papers left over. Seeing
the passion from all of the young artists in these “scraps”, Candace could not
bear to throw them away. It was all of these precious pieces that lead her to
discover this new way to collage.
