Candyce Garrett’s sculpture can be found everywhere. The small plaza in the shopping district of Taos, New Mexico. The entrance to the San Antonio Spurs Forum. Prestigious homes and businesses throughout the United States – from California to Washington, DC, New York to Texas. Above the doors of Ralph Lauren’s stores in Barbados, Sydney, Australia, and Gustad, Switzerland. In the Santa Fe Botanical Gardens (“Emergence” featured here).
From private art collectors, to city municipalities seeking public art, to everyday people who are touched by the messages that her pieces evoke, Candyce Garrett’s sculptures reach and speak to the masses.
