Candice Alexander has been an artist her entire life. The seed was planted at age 11 when she met an artist who was in town filming a movie. She knew then, that's what she was going to do. She came from a modest background, her family of farmers lived out down a gravel country road. She spent a lot of time alone and art was always a part of her life.
She started at the age of 18 with a printing press and a dream and has now built her Art career into a brick an mortar studio located at:
900 Ryan St #102, Lake Charles, LA 70601

She gives back to her community through personal projects and collaborative projects. There was an artist collective Mural right across the street from her Studio that took 5-6 years to collaboratively create. Through this effort, they were able to provide washing machines to people in the community and help many others. It was a huge tree of life mural that unfortunately was painted over last year.
Candice is known for her Fleur de Lis collection which has touched her community of Lake Charles, Louisiana and beyond. Totally humble and down to earth, our conversation covered a wide range of topics. One of my favorite quotes was "if people don't know who you are, show them!" She felt like people didn't truly know her integrity and heart and decided to take out ads, and did a lot of social media lives so people could really know who she is. Her art sales were successful because of it, and her already large following grew.
What struck me the most about Candice was her authenticity, her heart and humility. She's thinking of writing a book about her journey as an artist and the different pieces she created at different times in her life. I hope she does because I'm a fan and would be the first in line to buy one.
She was speaking to me from a campground Red River Rivel - a huge 9 day show in Shreveport, LA. Her impact on her community is evident in her following there that grew to 20,000!!
