Candy Kempkens

Candy is originally from Michigan but has lived in the Saint Petersburg area for a long time. She began attending Creative Clay as a member artist in June 2023. Candy's favorite artistic mediums are drawing and, more recently, ceramics. Candy is inspired by nature and happy images and her work often includes images of flowers, butterflies, and hearts. "They're fun to do," says Candy. "They make me happy." When not at Creative Clay, Candy enjoys spending time with her two dogs and two cats. 

"I like coming to Creative Clay. I just like doing art."
