kandee the canvas artist

(pre-script...i know this painting is not in proper perspective....it's abstract-ical baby! i made it that way)

i've been packin' paint brushes and sketchpads since I was a toddler...

the only classes i loved in high school were: drawing & painting and graphic design

i really thought I was going to head off for art school...but instead I left high school (yes i have a diploma! correspondence, baby!) and left for Asia...where i got to have make-up put on me...

but in the 80's you'd find me watching fashion shows with my mom- (Style with Elsa Klench)

and I'd be whipping out pages of fully designed collections, like I was Christian Lacroix, Betsey Johnson, or Yoji Yamamoto...

I'd draw hundreds of body silhouettes...and design full seasons of clothes...i still have them...it's hilarious...I did resort wear, swimwear, couture, you name it

I've done a little painting...I like feeling the brush gliding (side note: this is total de ja vu moment right now) all smooth and slippery across the canvas or wood (i like painting on big wood pieces)

I love the veils of color...all the colors I love in my mind that I never find the perfect shade of...I can mix it up myself...similar to whipping up a custom lipgloss color...

Art is in my heart and soul...just like any other person that loves it....I feel alive, like my soul is rejoicing...saying,"yeah, your heart beats for this"....
