Candy Depew Freshman Lecture September 21st

Candy Depew was an interesting woman to say the least. She displayed her entire room installments at the lecture, and she has a distinct style to her colorful creations. Candy was fun to listen to, very entertaining and had quite an energy to her. The energy she has shines through in the programs she is currently working on. Such as the decals she creates, or the studio she runs that allows for kids to do their own designing!

Candy has worked in various locations and from that has numerous studios of which she uses. Through her success, she has been able to have students apprentice with her and from that, as she stated herself: they learn valuable techniques and network in a way that will set them up for their own careers. It is a great thing that she does, and she really gives back and instills hope in the paranoid art student that swears they'll never get a real career. I appreciated what Candy had to say and her words, along with her pieces -- really were inspiring.
