  Background

Encouraged by her artistic family, the childhood of Candice Eisenfeld was filled with art. At the University of Texas (Austin) she studied printmaking and figure drawing. In 1993, Eisenfeld moved to Jerusalem to continue her studies at Bezalel Academy of Art and Hebrew University. After achieving her Bachelor's of Fine Arts she moved to Phoenix, where she currently produces her artwork and commissions.

Her Work

In a quest for universal understanding, Eisenfelds' work entertains the interaction between intellectual reasoning and the mysteries of emotion. There is a chain of rarefied thoughts, fragmented memories of textures, figures and panoramic landscapes visited only in dreams. These subconscious windows are affixed with an intuitive order and suspended upon a cosmological space, connecting the dualistic theories between physical and mental reality.
It is perhaps a way of storytelling; an archeology of the id. Her paintings are meant to explore levels of meaning as they connect our personal experiences to a world severely distanced from ourselves.

Statement: "I create art because I have a need to explore myself and share experiences with a wider community."
