"I Have been wanting to get art work for my place for a while now, but could'nt find a great artist. Candice talents are unbelieveable and rates are very affordable. She communicates with you during the process and keeps you updated. Also the portrait was very time senditive due to the situation and she was able to deliver on time!!
I would reccomend anyone to her.
Thanks Candice!"

"My boyfriend had her draw a photo of him and I as an anniversary gift. It was so perfect. She was very thorough with the entire portrait to make sure everything was perfect. She is truly amazing and talented artist and I am so glad to have a piece by her."
Jason S, NC
"Candice,
Thank you so much for the portrait of Nipsey. For such a prolific figure in the game, it takes a lot to be able to fully capture his essence and you were able to do so in such a detailed manner. Everything from the details in his braids to the precision of how you portrayed his tattoos and beard was flawless. Thank you so much for this piece as it has become a great conversation piece for in my house. Thanks again."
“It brings me so much joy to witness someone being captivated or moved by my work. I've restored images for people and I've drawn images of those who have passed hoping to bring a level of comfort or closure for many. Many people can see the beauty of a thing but not many people can see the beauty in a thing, and being able to look beyond the surface makes me the artist I am today. I hope everyone will be able to see themselves the way I capture them.”
