Painting

"Candice celebrates the landscape with unapologetic exuberance. Born and raised in Southern California, the region's distinctive light and atmosphere is bred in her bones. She enhances this vividness with the richness of her surfaces. Skeins of impastoed paint applied with a palette knife or pulled through with chopsticks, symbolize the organic presence of the physical universe. Although her energetic textures are often compared to the tense surfaces of van Gogh, Gawne's shimmering evocations of light and atmosphere are closer in spirit to Monet." -- Elenore Welles, Visions Art Quarterly
