AM Artist Spotlight!

This morning’s artist spotlight is very excited to showcase some new painted resins! She has been attending BreyerFest on and off since 1995 and excited to participate in this year’s celebration of Horse of a Different Color!

Meet - Candice McCown of Creations by Candice!

Candice, now a proud Kentuckian, has always had a strong affinity towards horses. As a little girl growing up in Texas her first interactions with horses were at a farm her family would visit. She was drawn to the ponies in the back field and it was love at first sight! Candice decided to combine her love of horses and her creative side and loves drawing and creating amazing things. She always was into the more traditional arts, but in 2018 had an epiphany that she should try painting model horses. She never looked back!

Candice’s favorite medium to work in is oils and she loves sharing her work with fellow model horse collectors! She is inspired by all the love, support, and the shared passion of horses between all the artists and collectors. She also loves the wonderful notes from people who have purchased her work!

Aside from her work as an artist Candice likes to show at local model horse shows. She feels this is the best way to give new pieces a test run, if she can, before considering letting them go to a new home. She also collects Breyer models of her own and has a few precious ones in her collection.

After moving to Kentucky when she was younger, she read about BreyerFest in a Just About Horses magazine. She realized the event was in her backyard –  only a hop, skip, and a jump away! She and her father attended in 1995 and while they had no idea what was going on they had a great time and enjoyed the atmosphere.  1996 was her first official year as a ticket holder and has been attending off and on ever since! Candice is very excited to participate in the Artisans’ Gallery for a second year. She is ecstatic to sell a very beloved Traditional-scale resin named Anise and hopes everyone loves the way she turned out! Check out Candice’s creations here.
