BIOGRAPHY

Candy Depew is based in Philadelphia , while spending lots of time in New York City , and travels internationally making her work along with researching collections of ornamental prints and decorative arts. She is preparing a multi-component, multi-directional, far-reaching, and ongoing project that will coalesce into a periodical publication—a fittingly glossy magazine—called candycoated (www.candycoated.org). candycoated will disseminate, promote, and shape new cultural understandings and creative manifestations of the decorative impulse. To highlight and fund the candycoated mission to spread beauty, Candy created moneymaker$, a line of intimate apparel decorated with her unique silkscreen designs.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, as one of nine children, Candy earned her BFA from Kent State University , with major studies in ceramics, jewelry and metals, drawing, French literature, and cultural anthropology. After studying at Newcomb School of Art at Tulane University , New Orleans , she completed her MFA at Tyler School of Art at Temple University , Philadelphia , in 1997. In 2002, she continued her studies with The London Consortium at the Tate Modern, London , focusing on the decorative-arts collections in the museums of Europe and contemporary British art.

As an educator, Candy has lectured on and shown her sculptural ceramic work, silkscreen prints, and room installations at universities and galleries in Cleveland , New York , Philadelphia , Amsterdam , and London . Candy worked with the Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia , from 1998 to 2002, advancing to the position of Master Printer. In 2002, she received a Pew Fellowship in the Arts, which enabled her to complete a five-year artist residency at The Clay Studio, Philadelphia . In 2004, she was selected for a four-month artist residency at the Kohler Arts/Industry Program in Sheboygan , Wisconsin . In 2005, she was honored with a residency at the European Ceramic Work Centre in DenBosch, The Netherlands, with film-work create in Amsterdam , and most recently an NEA, Joan Mitchell Foundation, and Chiem-Ried funded studio residency at the International Studio and Curatorial Program- NYC under the recommendation of Bennett Simpson (LaMOCA).

To complement her candycoated initiative and spread her passion for silkscreen printing and decorating, Candy recently established a "studio school" of decorative arts at the Crane Arts Center, Philadelphia.** She continues to candy coat her world, and is helping others to do so, as well.

** The studio school is dedicated to the memory and honors the industrious spirit of her father George Depew, 1927-2007.
