Candace Hester “The Paint Lady”

A native of Dayton, Ohio, and a graduate of Alabama A&M University, I hold a B.A. in Commercial Art and Graphic Design. I started my business as Party Plus Paint LLC to provide a fun unique social experience or a simple way to relax and unwind, and release depending on your venue!

My business and I have evolved so much and offer so much more I switched the name to do business as Candace Plus Paint at the beginning of 2021 to better encompass everything.

To be brutally honest, my art business started as a solution to my anxiety depression. Back in 2005, I was in a beautiful blossoming relationship with my fiancé, and my dreams were shattered when he brutally gunned down.

It rocked my world and completely derailed me for a long time.

Starting my art business, was my answer to fighting back and to navigating through the journey to finding a semblance of peace and happiness from my great loss. Art has truly been my release.

My art style allows me to share with the world the subconscious beautiful images and ideas that come to me in my dream. It also allows a place for me to re-image black men and women as the beauty that they are.

Thank you for coming to my art site and experiencing my ancestors' wildest dreams coming true through my life, business, and my contribution to the world of art.

You are always welcome to come paint with me!
