 Candace Wilson

Musandam, Sultanate of Oman

Candace Wilson’s love of nature has led her to explore the deserts of Africa and Oman, the ice fields of the Arctic and the Antarctic, and Canada’s own vast wildernesses. As a member of the prestigious New York Explorer’s Club, her travels into the timeless beauty, silence and remoteness of these threatened landscapes allow for a profound contemplation that is essential to her artist’s being. Her desire to combine this experience with a deeper understanding of her own spirituality has provided the underlying focus and inspiration for her paintings.

Candace Wilson is an explorer in every sense. In addition to her physical and spiritual searching, her passion for life has taken her on a fascinating route which includes studies at the Ecole Des Beaux Arts et Arts Appliques  in Anger, France, work as a commercial helicopter pilot, a European trained sommelier, and Toronto entrepreneur.

For her fortunate viewers and collectors, this wealth of life exploration is reflected in her paintings which cover a spectrum of genres from realism to colour field and abstract expressionism. 

With this commitment to physical and spiritual exploration and supported by new  technological research into the healing qualities of colour, crystals, gems and sacred geometry, Candace’s paintings are richly embedded with an array of elements  that create an interactive relationship affecting body, mind and spirit. She finds that contemplation of these works, both as she executes them and when they are completed, can shift the consciousness from the 3rd to the 5th dimension and lead to the joy of communication with the “all that is” referred to in the works of the Elohim, one of many mentors.

Collectors follow Candace's works, which are often commissioned for private residences.  Her paintings have been exhibited in France and Canada and, are found hanging both corporately and privately in these two countries as well as in Australia, Bermuda, Italy, Norway, United States and the Sultanate of Oman.
