“Candice is deep waters.” My mother used to say this often, and in many ways, she was right. As a child, I’d spend hours reflecting, revisiting every detail of the day, trying to see all the angles. It was my way of not letting a single moment pass unnoticed.

But life, as it often does, grew louder and faster. Living in Los Angeles, I found myself juggling responsibilities, constantly in motion yet never fully present. At 26, I moved to East Africa, and for the first time, I encountered stillness that allowed me to reconnect with that reflective part of myself.

On countless long bus rides, I would sit with no distractions, watching the world go by. No books, no music, just observation. In that quiet, I reconnected with the sense of presence I had lost—the joy of simply noticing.

My Work: Capturing Beauty in the Everyday

Today, my art—whether it’s photography, poetry, drawing, or podcasting—flows from this core: noticing and celebrating the beauty of the present moment. Each piece reflects my journey and invites you to see life with fresh eyes.

• Photography captures fleeting instants—a single frame that calls for honesty and presence, exploring what makes a moment beautiful.
• Drawing reimagines what’s in front of me, bridging what is and what could be, revealing beauty in unexpected ways.
• Poetry uncovers truths hidden within, creating snapshots of an inner world that invite reflection and connection.
• Podcasting takes these discoveries off the page and into real life, exploring intentional living and harmony in a changing world.

Each medium is my way of honoring life’s everyday beauty, encouraging us to slow down and see with purpose.
