Candace Bell is a freelance fantasy artist originally from Canada Ontario, born 1982, now living with her husband and menagerie of pets in the woodlands of Connecticut, United States. Candace considers herself largely self taught. Her desire to create artwork expressed itself in her early childhood and has since been a deeply rooted part of her personality, evolving in style over the years to what it is now.
Candace has a deep affinity for nature and for the fantasy genre, both of which are primary themes in her artwork. Candace is most often inspired to depict fantasy creatures such as gryphons, dragons, and unicorns as well as anthropomorphic subjects.
Inspiration drives Candace to create her artwork using a variety of mediums such as acrylic, colored pencil, watercolor, ink, oil and polymer clay and she will often combine the various mediums to create the result she desires.
Candace spends much of her time pursuing various goals, projects, and entrepreneurial ventures. She is active in the virtual world of Second Life, where she designs digital content on a freelance basis. She also has a love for animals which extends beyond her artwork.
