Artist Candice Alexander joined me for a great conversation about the evolution of her art this past year. We talked about her victory passing a bill turned into law protecting the elderly against contractor fraud. Her own experience with criminals Bobby Spoonermore and wife Dawn Bertrand and son Hayden Spoonermore in a basic home painting job gone bad alerted her to the problem. She took matters into her own hands to investigate and draft the bill herself!
Then we discussed her deep dive into a very vibrant and meaningful series of biblical figures and images which struck the hearts of many of her supporters. She was inspired looking at a stained glass window and the light in a cathedral in Florida and within an hour a priest had commissioned a piece with all the elements she envisioned!
Fast forward to this fall where she watched the historic Capital One Tower fall just blocks from her studio. She managed to get her hands on a couple buckets of glass salvaged from that building and embarked on a jewelry making journey. Turns out it had been a childhood dream of hers to design and make jewelry and here the opportunity and timing was just right. So she has gone deep into creating with the glass and semi precious stones, sparking a creative streak just in time for the Red River Revel Festival in Shreveport, Louisiana.
