CANDIDA MERVENNE

Born in Holland Michigan and living a well- traveled childhood, grew a very large imagination. It groomed a self taught artist and entrepreneur by the name of Candida Mervenne. 

Her love for drawing began as an adolescent. Sending drawings to the Disney Channel so they would be viewed on television was a highlight! After graduation Candida attended Davenport Community College for Business and later attended Kendall School of Art and Design for interior design.

While raising her 2 sons AJ and Elijah, she put her skills to work to not only design but also open a few purse boutiques. After a wonderful decade of  the handbag business Candida decided to continue her passion for drawing and painting.

Being self taught she has studied and painted with many recognized fellow artists within the community. Having her work displayed in Galleries along the Lakeshore and donating artwork to Hospice of Holland for auctions has put her on the artist map.

Candida's mediums are watercolor and acrylics.
