Steve was deeply honored to sit down with one of his art heroes, Reno-based artist and professor Candace Garlock, whose generous spirit and boundless creativity make her not only an extraordinary talent, but also one of the kindest souls in the art world. Candace’s richly layered printmaking and mixed media work delves into memory, identity, and the emotional threads that connect us all. In this conversation, she shares her journey as both an artist and educator, offering thoughtful insights into her creative process, the symbolism in her work, and the personal stories woven into each piece. From intricate textile patterns to her passionate commitment to teaching at Truckee Meadows Community College, Candace brings depth, intention, and heart to everything she does. We also explore her collaborative work on The Honeycomb project, and how community plays a vital role in her artistic practice. Whether you’re an art lover, fellow printmaker, or simply curious about the magic of meaningful visual, story telling, this episode is a generous window into the mind and heart of an artist who truly shines.
