Candy Witcher
About
1959 Erie Pennsylvania, USA
Currently lives in Massachusetts
"I am from a very artistic family that has inspired and motivated me to be creative and challenge myself. I love to work with the effects of color, light and shadow. My recent paintings of glass objects such as marbles, jars of preserved fruits/vegetables, glass candies and ornaments have improved my use of color and design. I am fascinated by the reflections and colors of these reflective surfaces and also by their cast shadows. It is amazing how many different colors your eye can see in a shadow when you really study and observe it. I teach art classes on the weekends and enjoy seeing my students get excited and inspired with the progress of their own paintings as they learn new techniques."

Candy received her Bachelor in Fine Arts from the University of New Hampshire in Drawing. She was the first "Drawing" major to graduate from UNH. Her senior thesis was the self-portrait done primarily in silver point, a very unforgiving drawing medium that helped refine her drawing skills.
