I create vibrant and contemporary abstract paintings with acrylics and mixed media, influenced by the things I love.

About the Artist

My name is Candace Hayden and my home base is Bonita Springs, Florida. My experience in southwest Florida real estate, property management, and interior design have all led me to pursue my true passion of creating custom pieces of art for my clients.

The process of building and decorating my own home, along with decorating rental properties, and designing for clients, have all led me to realize there is an opportunity to not just find the right piece of art for a space, but to actually design it around you and your space.

I grew up on Catalina Island with strong northern Michigan roots, and eventually landed in southwest Florida where I spend my days painting and making jewelry. My free time is all about being on the water, whether it’s a morning walk on the beach with a friend, paddleboarding, or a day out on the boat, I am surrounded by coastal inspiration, which shows in much of my artwork.

I hope you will get in touch, even if it’s just to start a conversation about what you are looking for or the space you want to brighten up. I am fun to collaborate with, but a true professional when it comes to working with my clients.
