It all began with a plastic pony, a My Little Pony to be exact, and I was hooked. I developed a love for horses that continued to grow with me, from My Little Ponies to a different kind of plastic pony called Breyer. I scoured the stores for my favorites, only taking them out of the boxes to be played with on special occasions, and began going to the local Breyerfest until my room was overtaken with ponies of all shapes and sizes.
As the years passed, my passion for them dwindled, as did the space I had to put them in, and I sent most of my childhood ponies on to new homes where they would be beloved by another as much as I did. As the years marched on, I worked in horse-related fields of varying kinds, so my love of horses never left, while my passion for art began to grow.
In 2018 I received a ticket to go to Breyerfest, and I thought, why not?! It would be good to rekindle those warm and fuzzy feelings I had as a child and reconnect with model horse collectors. I was standing in line for the leftover special run models and had a complete epiphany to combine my love of art with my love of horses and ran with it, and Creations by Candice was born.
I customize almost entirely in oils. My finished pieces are completed of the very highest quality, and delight in sharing my creations with fellow model horse collectors.
