About the Artist

 

Candyce Hoskins is a visual artist working out of her studio situated on Upper Caswell Lake in Willow,  Alaska, which is located halfway between Willow and Talkeetna. 

Her view of life on this planet is one of awe.  Humanity never ceases to amaze her.  Earth's landscape, its position in our universe, its ever-present proximity to destruction either through the misuse by humankind or through natural forces, all contribute to Candyce's many sleepless nights and creative hours.  Her work was described by world-famous artist Charles Reid, after jurying one of her works, as "...very nicely realized.  Beautiful shapes and lovely lost-and-found quality in it."

Hoskins has won numerous awards on the state, national and international levels.  She is a former board member of the Arrowhead Council of the Arts in Minnesota.  Her work is part of the permanent collection of the Anchorage Museum of History and Art.  Candyce is a signature member of the Alaska Watercolor Society.
