Shimmer and Lace: The Art of Candace Knapp

Gary R. Libby Entry Court 
Open November 30, 2020 through February 7, 2021

Tampa Bay-based artist Candace Knapp paints brilliant water scenes and surface reflections capturing the beauty of Florida's coasts, natural springs, and waterways. The shimmering of light on water is matched by reflections of leafy trees creating lacey patterns. In her sculptures, she opts for simple, smooth materials which she shapes into whimsical forms based on nature that exude personality and grace. Her paintings and sculpture paired together celebrate our natural world in pattern, color and texture.
