Candice began her journey as an artist working with earthenware clay. Later, in art school, she studied metalsmithing, printmaking and graphic art. She worked for ten years as a graphic designer, and the in 2000, she retired from her computer graphics job to search for a more meaningful, hands-on creative life. That year, Candice discovered an entirely new way to work with silver. Silver clay is a soft malleable substance that is made from pure silver or gold.

It can be molded, textured and shaped like traditional clay. Candice’s jewelry involves traditional metalsmithing techniques, silver clay and lamp work beads.
