Directing
Candace has always had an affinity for art that is abstract and dark, believing that within lies an enthralling story that viewers can find personal connections in unexpected ways. She enjoys exploring human issues like mental health and sexuality in outside-the-box ways that can capture people's attention and allow them to relate while, also giving them a safe place to step back and process.
Her goal, as an artist, is to make people less scared of what they don't understand, and hope viewers can use her projects in anyway they need, whether it's to escape or cope or just enjoy. Candace believes that the key to understanding lies in the absurd.
