Speaking Boldly about Quiet Things








"My paintings are a means for me to speak boldly about the quiet things...I find that giving each one of my figures a presence and context of color and light, enhances my own sense of presence and place in the world."
-Candace Compton Pappas
Pappas' beautiful work ranges in size from 4 by 6 inches to 5 by 6 feet - incorporating plaster, clay, glues, inks and other water-based mediums, creating a textured field to work on. The paintings are often carried over onto the frames which are constructed by the artist herself. Make sure to visit her website and blog to see and learn more of this fascinating artist.
