Formerly a house painter, bounty hunter, and translator, Candace Hicks
has spent most of her life in her home state of Texas (excepting three
years in Paris, France). She established a non-profit center for the
arts in Athens, TX, The Image Warehouse, in 2003. She is currently an
Adjunct Professor at Texas Christian University. Trained as a
printmaker, she works primarily with books, but dabbles in video and
installation. Hicks will have a solo Featured Artist Project at the
Center in 2013 which will feature her unique embroidered book composition series.
Her silkscreen
print, based on one of her embroidered composition books, was printed in limited edition of 20 and measures 20" x 25". It is one of the many! exciting! works! on auction here at the Center for Book Arts on Wednesday, April 4th. You can preview the auction
here and place bids even if you can't make it in person.
Tickets start at $100 and are available
here. All proceeds help us to continue to advance the art of the book and support classes, exhibitions, programs and artists residencies here at the Center.
